Guilt serves to accomplish only two things Dear One;
- Inflict punishment onto yourself
- Inflict punishment onto another
That’s it. Nothing more.
Guilt does not absolve you of anything.
It solves nothing. It heals nothing. It changes nothing.
When it comes to dealing with feelings of guilt Dear One, you really have only two choices;
- Forgive yourself
- Don’t forgive yourself
While you are deciding which is the right choice for you, keep this in mind – you will never be able to punish yourself, or anyone else enough to undo that which has been done, – and with forgiveness, all things are possible.
I was raised in a family where guilt was served every day just like the 3 meals a day my mother would put on the table. It took me less time to learn that guilt didn’t work than anyone else in the family but learn it I did. And forgiveness. I learned that one too. Out of the 4 of us I’m the only one still alive. Self-preservation? Survival? I’m not sure what made me different than the others but I give thanks every day that I was and I am. Great thoughts here.
Spot on with this write-up, I absolutely think this web site needs far more attention. I’ll probably be back again to read through more, thanks for the information!|
