Letting Go of Guilt

What crimes have you committed? That's been giving you sleepless night, you deeply regret such actions but the deed is done so you can only beat yourself up in remorse. You know many a times saying sorry doesn't just cut it, our actions could have hurt deeper than what apologise could amend, we could only hope they find a place in their heart to forgive, we are now truly sorry, there's no proper justification for our actions all we know we can really do is to apologize and earnestly pray its heard and accepted.

Someone might argue that in such case Restitution would be the best next line of action, but mind you, there are some happenings one can restitute from, some others one can restitute but the temper of the aggrieved would warrant a treading with caution, as you might likely sustain casualties from your sincere move to make amends, and you really can't blame them, you caused it with your hand, you hurt them so bad. Luckily some others just wanna be good people or they just have a way of life where they feel peace should surpass all wrongs, and just choose to forgive instead, but this category of people are really hard to come by, as a typical person wants you to get a taste of your own medicine. Well you can blame anyone's decision for the wrong action you took, if you're truly sorry then you're at their mercy.

Imagine walking by a place you are hated whether they're aware you did it or not, if you have been in such position, you can imagine your feeling of guilt, you feel like you are probably the worst person on earth, only hardened criminals should delight in a wrong committed and overtime feel no remorse but pride, and surely they'll get what's coming at them. But you my friend who's genuinely sorry for what you did, you're on the right track. Feeling sorry is a good head start, it doesn't make you weaker or evil, rather it shows you capable of good and really worth forgiving for a second chance.

Now, there are many instances where people cannot function properly because they haven't yet make peace with their self, although many of such cases are people who accidentally made the mistake and so they are losing trust in their selves, and because they lack this 100% assurance of being In the best behavior, they end up misusing their opportunity, this set are people are mostly sorry for their wrong doings and seeking for forgiveness, even if its just hoping for forgiveness. Nevertheless they aren't going to doing it again, we guess.

To the aforementioned group, they should be made to understand that there's is hope for everyone who has been in the dark to shine forth light, there's the tendency for his or her good deeds to overpower and completely shut up the wrong done, many have done great chaos and mayhem but today are leading pastors, philanthropist, teachers, mentors and the likes doing more good to the world and changing lives all around, there isn't a total write off for anyone who's ready to correct the wrongs in his or her life. That feeling of remorse is the foundation, it's the first step, but rather than beat yourself up with guilt, just let it guide you into recreating and changing lives of people who might want to make the same mistake you made.

The feeling of guilt has never solved anything, rather has it undone the deed, it's just a show of repentance, but we must come out of it if we wanna function in our full capacity, if you really wanna make things right then you've got to be in your active state of mind, where you can actively think and plan on the best way of making things right, so stop beating yourself up and rather beat up the ideology saying you can't do any thing good. You are still capable of love no matter your deeds, let go of the guilt and plan for a better life trying to prove a point that you're not just truly sorry but you're also doing good.

For those you've offended, do make amends, there's no shame in asking for forgiveness, it doesn't make you less of yourself. It would only earn you more respect as you have proven to seek the right things only not minding your ego. For those whose crime you committed towards were great, and you can't easily seek for forgiveness nor restitute, its best to follow wisdom, know and plan out their likely response, you might be wrong though, but I don't advice you take a risk worth endangering your life, sometimes it's better you stay far from and seek the forgiveness from afar off, wisdom at all times is most profitable to lead us so use your head especially in the area of restitution.

There's no gain in wickedness nor is there any in fighting or killing, if you can avert this then there would be no need to seek forgiveness not get guilty conscience. Its best we follow peace with everyone, there's more to gain in a place of peace and harmony while there's a lot to lose in a place of fighting and chaos. Choose wisely, stop hurting people, be the reason for a smile and not the reason for bitter tears,whats to gain in that. More so when you're truly sorry try channeling your guilt to work energy rather than sadness, make the change of peoples perception towards you, just start by moving pass the past.
