Why talk about guilt?

Welcome.

I'll start by asking you if you have any guilt.

Or rather:

  • Do you feel guilty?
  • Of something?
  • With someone?
  • With yourself?

I touched on this topic because we live in a system in which we are educated not to think, to act automatically, like robots. We are taught that we have to do what society expects of us and as soon as we have self-love interests that do not coincide with what the family, society, your boss expects or you go beyond that, we are labeled as weird, in the best of cases... we are labeled as bad people, cruel, the devil incarnate. And this is blackmail to return to being automatons, robots, beings who do not think, in work routines, in contributing to children, parents, government that do not want anything to change. But this apparent stability is due to selfish interests.

It's everything we've invented as a society to categorize ourselves and to make us go back to the path we shouldn't have left. Because they benefit from us being like this. They are interested in continuing with their comfort. They make you feel guilty to continue exploiting your bad habit of doing things without thinking, automatically, out of habit.

What happens when you decide that's not for you anymore?

Whether you decide to follow the path expected of you or do what best suits your needs, the only one who bears the burden of the decision you have made is yourself.

And you have to live with it, that weight that accompanies you for having made one decision and not the other (to continue as always), that pressure that you feel when you don't know why you are not happy with the path that you have taken.

All those feelings are called the same thing: guilt.

Guilt is responsible for you not enjoying the life you deserve and that is why in the next article we will talk about:

  • What is guilt and why is it holding back our lives?
  • Where guilt comes from and what purpose it has
  • How to transform guilt into something positive to be free and have self-love.

Thank you for reading and share this article.
