guilt is a useless thing
a wasted emotion
yet a kernel

In Other Words 
I think guilt can be very useful when it helps me be aware of an action I did or word I spoke that may have caused harm. That physical unease that comes with guilt that urges me to make a repair, to stay in alignment with my values. A kernel that can indeed change my life when I choose to listen to its voice.

Yes, I agree. But guilt is a complicated thing, with many facets. Some good, some counter productive. I think it’s something to continue to explore.

Absolutely. For one thing I want (as much as possible) to have clarity about what is mine and what isn’t. At times I have difficulty in coming to this place.
