By cosmic design, we have a certain amount of guilt embedded in us. There is no escape from it except acceptance. If you fucked up, you should not only own it but also try your best to correct the course. Feeling guilty for the sake of being guilty is a bit like dancing in quicksand. Not going anywhere worth going. So, a better alternative would be to remove your face from your palms and do the best you can. Of course, this idea applies only to reversible situations. It doesn’t work for a son who feels guilty because his mother died giving birth to him. That is a different arena altogether.
