When I was reading Robby Robot's "Authenticity IV" thread today, this particular paragraph really helped me:
"Just really consider please how being responsible has nothing to do with being guilty, okay? Guilt is created from an action of wrongness in the eyes of the wrongdoer. Guilt is a one time thing for each wrongness. When we become responsible for our guilt, this does not mean we are any more or any less guilty. Being responsible for our own guilt means we can now correctly discharge that same guilt and get on with making amends to *ourselves* and learn how to live a better lifestyle which surpasses what we had before."
