RULE 32:- ONLY THE GOOD FEEL GUILTY.

Weird title right? Bad people don't feel guilty, they are too busy being bad. Good people feel guilty because they are good and they feel they have done wrong, let somebody down, made a mistake or screwed up somewhere(simple logic). Good people have a conscience. Bad people don't. If you do feel guilty , that's  a good sign, it shows you are on the right track. But you have to know how to deal with it, because guilt is a terribly selfish emotion. It is wasteful and pointless.
We have two choices; put it right or dump the guilt. Yes, we all make mistakes. We usually screw up from time to time. We don't always do the right thing, and if we've got a conscience, we will feel guilty sometimes. But guilt is utterly pointless unless it is acted on for better. You would be better off feeling something else, if you aren't going to act on your guilt. If you hang around feeling guilty but not doing anything about it, then it's a waste of time and life.
The first thing  to do is to asses whether you really need to feel guilty. It could just be an overdeveloped conscience or sense of duty. If you are the kind of person always to volunteer, but just this once you say 'no', then there is no need to feel guilty. You will know deep down if you've earned this one off. If you have a choice between doing something or not, then it is simple, do it or don't do it but without guilt. Make the choice with that in mind. Not doing it and feeling guilty is not an option.
If you do have cause to feel guilty, then put things right. That's the simplest course of action. And what if you can't put things right? Then learn the lesson, make resolutions, dump the guilt and move on. If it keeps on gnawing away at you, you have to find a way to shut its mouth.
