Episode notes
Guilt Is An Adversary
- Guilt functions as an adversarial state that accuses and condemns you.
- That condemning feeling shuts life down and diverts focus from repair to avoiding feeling bad.
False Charges Still Hurt
- People and systems can weaponize guilt with false charges that aren't true offenses.
- Accusation alone doesn't equal wrongdoing, yet the emotional guilt still harms the accused.
Choose Remorse Over Condemnation
- Feel sorrow for the person you hurt rather than wallowing in condemning guilt.
- Use godly sorrow or real remorse to motivate change and empathy toward the injured party.
