Thought Of The Day

Guilt burns a mark into us that puts us behind emotional bars.

Guilt is the most futile and destructive emotion we have, it eats us from the inside, once a seed is planted into a great monster it grows, its shadow hangs over every other event in our lives. We learn nothing from it except fear, fear of screwing up again, fear of being found out, fear of somebody doing the same to us. It keeps us in denial.

Remorse on the other hand acknowledges we have done wrong, we have hurt or betrayed somebody, we can take responsibility for our actions and the outcome we caused. We can learn from it, be accountable for it, take it a part of our own development. True remorse, not just lip service to get off the hook, sets you free to move on and achieve more with the knowledge we have gained.
