Past Guilt

More From Christopher Moore

One voice can change a room, and if one voice can change a room, then it can change a city, and if it can change a city, it can change a state, and if it change a state, it can change a nation, and if it can change a nation, it can change the world. your voice can change the world.

True guilt is guilt at the obligation one owes to oneself to be oneself. false guilt is guilt felt at not being what other people feel one ought to be or assume that one is.
People Guilt Assuming
Live in the present. the past is gone; the future is unknown -- but the present is real, and your opportunities are now. you must see these opportunities; they must be real for you. the catch is that they can't seem real if your mind is buried in past failures, if you keep reliving old mistakes, old guilts, old tragedies. fight your way above the many inevitable traumatizations of your ego, escape damnation by the past, and look to the opportunities of the present. i don't mean some vague moment in the present -- next week or next month, perhaps. i mean today, this minute.
Real Mistake Mean
Guilt is not a response to anger; it is a response to one’s own actions or lack of action. if it leads to change then it can be useful, since it is then no longer guilt but the beginning of knowledge. yet all too often, guilt is just another name for impotence, for defensiveness destructive of communication; it becomes a device to protect ignorance and the continuation of things the way they are, the ultimate protection for changelessness.
Communication Ignorance Names
But guilt is guilt. it doesn't go away. it can't be nullified. it can't even be fully understood, i'm certain - it's roots run too deep into private and long-standing karma. about the only thing that saves my neck when i get to feeling this way is that guilt is an imperfect form of knowledge. just because it isn't perfect doesn't mean that it can't be used. the hard thing to do is to put it to practical use, before it gets around to paralyzing you.
Karma Running Mean
A god who draws near out of love, the holy father continued, walks with his people, and this walk comes to an unimaginable point. we could never have imagined that the same lord would become one of us and walk with us, be present with us, present in his church, present in the eucharist, present in his word, present in the poor, he is present, walking with us. and this is closeness: the shepherd close to his flock, close to his sheep, whom he knows, one by one.

Similar Quotes
Two conflicting forces cannot exist in one human heart. when doubt reigns, faith cannot abide. where hatred rules, love is crowded out. where selfishness rules, there love cannot dwell. when worry is present, trust cannot crowd its way in.
Heart Love Is Two
The love of christ embraces all without exception. fire of love, crazy over what you have made. oh, divine madman. (prayer of catherine siena) simply do the next thing in love. i have no sense of myself apart from you. quia amasti me, fecisti me amabilem. (in loving me, you made me lovable.)
