There are many different religions,and I am no more knowledgeable than any other person about what thought /value system is perfect...but I am of a particular faith,which embraces the idea that as humans we are imperfect,and in my heart of hearts I believe that mistakes are inevitable,and that guilt is purposeless aside from it being the conscience which guides what is/isn't acceptable.I think we are all in a sort of learning loop,and life/fellow human interaction is the teacher.idk how much we are allowed to post on the subject ,but,it is my belief that ....I quote........all have fallen short.....I also believe that not forgiving oneself....ie,guilt...is only useful to guide us on our paths...being bound by it hampers us from moving forward...is useless,futile,and immobilizing.Realizing we are all "sinners" opens the door to us forgiving others and ourselves.Essentially my view is forgiving the self enables us to be free from things which hamper us moving forward and progressing.No one is 'better than'....JMO
