I was at Clapham Junction station in London and a blind man asked me to help him onto his train. I *DELIBERATELY* helped him onto the WRONG train with full knowledge of what I was doing.

Well you should be ashamed that's a terrible thing to do. Being ashamed will stop from doing thing like this in the future.

That is a pretty horrible thing to do. Presumably you thought it would be funny at the time. Now you know it actually wasn't funny just petty and cruel. You can't do anything to change what you did or make it up to that man so you need to accept that you made a mistake, you will probably always carry some bad feelings about yourself because of it, but you also need to forgive yourself because nobody is perfect and move on. Use the lesson you learned from that to do some good in the world if you can.

Greatest punishment of a human being is realisation of a mistake no matter whether it is committed now or in the past. If your inner concience says that you are ashamed of it or still you doubt whether you should be ashamed or not........... if you are an adult now, I am sure that you are ashamed of what you have done. It may be bcoz of your childish phranks that you wanted to enjoy by doing it. Now that you have realized it, you should be ashamed of it. But, make sure you do not repeat them whether you are going to do the same to a blind man or a normal man.
To compensate to what you have done in your ignorant & innocent days, do some good things in your adulthood to the welfare of blinds & poor people on the streets. "May God bless you".

Yes - feel ashamed. Feel very ashamed. Express your shame somehow. Then move on as a wiser person, knowing that you accepted your shame, learned from it, and let it go.
Expressing your shame means to perform some meaningful action or ritual, eg seeking out a charity and giving a donation, or praying a confession and forgiveness prayer, to demonstrate you are serious.

I'm ashamed for some things I did as a teenager, but I was young and it happens.
Unfortunately, we have to learn from our mistakes sometimes.
Everything we do has a meaning. I'm sure you like to help people now. That's the positive part of your experience.

The fact that what you did still bothers you indicates that you learned a life lesson from this. Life is a journey through which we learn many such lessons. God does not want his children to feel guilty. That is why when we confess our sins He is faithful to forgive them and to cast them into the deepest sea to remember them no more! It's not so easy for us. We don't forget them. However, if the lesson learned leads us to become a better person, we can let go of the shame and guilt.

Drink until you feel your liver fails, call 911 and with all the grace and dignity you can muster die face down in a ditch with your pants around your ankles a kebab in your hand and with those fleeting moments before the sky turns purple and the hair on your butt shrivels you realized you miss the 9 in dialing 911 or just slap a "high five for jesus" sticker on the bumper of your car in a failed attempt to convert anyone behind you. You'll soon feel better

It's good that you feel bad about it, but you should get over it, knowing that you will never do that again. If you ever have an opportunity to help someone out, take it. You can't change the past, but you can learn from it.
