The feeling of guilt is almost always seen as something unpleasant, undesirable or even repulsive or depressing. What is certain is that it is one of the feelings that leads to actions that end up balancing relationships between everyone.
Negotiations between two parties are always fundamental, except when one of them is acting in complete disregard for the interests or integrity of the other.
We see this every day on the news programmes on all the channels.
But is the act of confessing that we've committed something the solution to everything? I'm not saying it's a universal solution, but if each party took responsibility for the part they played, life could be much simpler for everyone. Often, even when we didn't play an important part in a situation that didn't end well or that led to a less good outcome, we should always look at what we did or even what we didn't do that we could have done better or differently.
Taking this attitude of taking responsibility for our presence ends up giving us greater importance in the things that happen around us and that we think we can't change in any way.
In fact, there are situations that cannot be changed by anything or anyone; these are the so-called inevitabilities of life. The few certainties we have, the things that will certainly happen, we just don't know, most of the time, precisely when they will occur.
The worst-case scenario is not in fact one's own fault, but the actions that are not seen as having harmed something or other, or even our own integrity. There are mental pathologies that deprive those who have them of the ability to feel empathy or even guilt for something they have done.
Looking back, but always with an eye to the future, in order to make the best decisions today and now, is and should be our focus. We must never stop taking a critical look at ourselves and our decisions.
