Guilt...and more

A universal phenomena, a stressful feeling, guilt is a painful truth, which we all encounter at some point in our lives. As a child, we feel guilty about lying to our parents, as a teenager, we feel it for our first kiss at 14! As and when we reach adulthood, we would have already learned about subsiding guilt. What we think and what we do, are two different things. Guilt is usually an outcome of something we wise humans did not think through.
But, what happens if this fundamental phenomenon is pulled out of our lives? What if it never came out of the Pandora's box? What if it never existed!? Have you ever imagined how life would be then? It is certainly not to easy to imagine!
Would life be wonderful, or would it be too good to be true? I don't know! There is only one way to find out. Usually, we do not feel guilty, but are made to feel instead. By our teacher, mother, mother-in-law, friend or enemy. Almost all people linked to our lives, make us feel ashamed of our own self at some point. Do we sit back and let them do it to us? Or, do we face them boldly and tell them "I am what I am and I cannot change for anyone." Do not mistake the confidence with obstinacy. Both have their pros and cons. But, does guilt have any pros (if at all)? Perhaps no.
Live without guilt, live free, embrace your identity, and you will never have to cry. :)
