Unfortunately it's not a simple matter of choosing to stop feeling guilty. We can't just say, "goodbye ego, I'm never going to feel guilty again." We humans simply don't work that way, and demonising our natural responses won't change that.
but labeling guilt 'wrong' is like blowing up the signpost before you've had a chance to notice which way it's pointing. |
You can determine right or wrong without emotion. I never said guilt was wrong and we should never feel it again. You've read into what I said with your own thoughts. We should observe the guilt without letting it take us over, then take the appropriate action. What I understand is something you cannot know, so your comments are guesses. When I read someone's post I realize assumptions should not be made. Where you're not sure what I meant, you may ask me.
