What is guilt, and how can I live without it being a part of my life?

Answer 1

You need guilt. It tells you when you've done something wrong and then you are motivated to be sorry and not repeat those actions.

It's possible to feel guilty when something is not your fault. If you ever feel that's the case, talk it out with someone and they can give you some perspective.

But most often, guilt is a good indicator that we have fallen short or let someone down so use guilt as a means to become a better person. Just don't ever let it consume you. There is always forgiveness if we are truly sorry.

Answer 2

Guilt is a "feeling" when you have done something wrong. You can never live without out it, but don't let it rule your life. Some decisions are made when you are doing the best that you can at the time. Sometimes the decision that you made at the time later down the road doesn't seem like it was the right decision. All you can do is move forward,and don't blame yourself. As long as you apologize or make what was wrong right...you have to move on.

Answer 3

in the dictionary, guilt is considered to be, "a feeling of responsibility or remorse for some offense, crime, wrong, etc., whether real or imagined". In the real world, guilt means to me the a person did something wrong and feels extremely bad about it.

To live without guilt is almost impossible, but to avoid it, just try to do the right thing. Doing "the right" thing can be interpreted many ways, so that's why it's hard to avoid guilt at some time in your life.

Answer 4

guilt is a remorseful feeling usually caused by not doing something that you now wish you had. If you wish to live without it you can do any or all of the following. Become absolutely true to yourself, in other words if you don't do something it's because YOU didn't want to and refuse to feel guilty about it; open up your life, be more considerate and look out for everyone around you.; or you could become a recluse bath in your own self existence and forget that the rest of the world exists.

Answer 5

Guilt is the knowledge that you have committed a transgression. Guilt is expunged by forgiveness. You must seek forgiveness for whatever is making you feel guilty. Then think before you act that guilt may not be a part of your life.

Answer 6

Guilt is nothing more than the way you react to something you have done in the past,instead of looking at it as something you wished never happend, you should merely look at as a learning experience, more so a part of you and a part of you past, because as long as your happy with the person you are today, you should have no guilt what soever, because our actions are what make us, us

Answer 7

Guilt is one of those christian concepts : the Original Sin.
I think it's easy to live without guilt, f you distinguish it from remorse. Remorse is for something bad you did ; guilt is for nothing particular you did, just a state of mind.
So don't feel guilty for the rest of mankind (what would it change anyway) and live happy without (too much) remorse!

Answer 8

Guilt is a symptom of an action gone wrong, voluntarily or involuntarily. It is a product of your conscience.
The only way to live without guilt is to rid your self of your conscience.

Answer 9

You must forgive yourself for whatever is making you feel guilty. If you honestly forgive yourself and then ask the person (s)to fogive you regardless of wheather they do or not, you will be released from those feelings. You can only control you, so once self forgiveness is achieved , ask for it from others if the situation warrants it and get on with the living of life. Best of wishes to you
