Guilt/regret! We have all made mistakes in our lives. If we were perfect we would not be human. Now someone who not only makes a mistakes but also owns up to that mistake may feel guilt/regret. Which is natural. That is a tool given to us by nature in order to remind us of our past mistakes. But it is not there to torture us for the rest of our lives. It will simply remind us of what we may be at fault for just so we can learn from those mistakes. And if you learn from them as well as apply what you have learned then you have the right to let the guilt and Regret GO! Learn and apply the lesson so that you do not make the same mistakes in the future. And fyi, it's not just YOUR mistakes that you can learn from. But also your peers, parents and just about everybody and everything written in history books, there are plenty of lessons to be learned. That is one of the key aspects of why as humans we actually do have such a great desire to learn as well as memory. Because our past is nothing more than an open book to learn from or some times we have memories that were pleasant and worth reminiscing about! Sometimes you think you know but you simply did not know enough! So don't beat yourself up. Build yourself up using past experiences, both good n bad!
