Guilt

If you’re busy feeling guilty, you’re in no position to extend love properly toward other people. When we feel guilty, what is that feeling all about? Me, that’s what it’s about. Me, me, me! How do I feel, how terrible is my life, what is going on here for me? It’s entirely self-centered and seeks to take away from the object of your guilt—the loved one you have let down in some way. No, we don’t have time to worry about them, we’re too busy feeling sorry for ourselves about this dreadful burden of guilt we have to carry.
