The Importance of Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a moral word. It comes with guilt, and why does the artist feel guilty about not achieving perfection? I wonder if there isn't something sacchar-dotal in the meaning of perfection. Who or what is perfect? Nothing on the face of the earth; our projection of the dream of the divine is perfected. So if you cannot achieve the divine, should you feel guilty, and should you require forgiveness? There's a mixture in this story between the aesthetic, and in some ways the God-like because he has made himself into a kind of God for himself.
