Entry 32: The Saddest of All Prisons

Guilt is a thing that has many causes and today we have more causes than we ever had before. People today like the people before also carry around guilt for keeping ugly secrets of the past to themselves. Not only can this guilt isolate people but it can also make people shut down parts of their own mentality. Keeping secrets of past sins can cause guilt that would slowly rot away inside of someone. I have felt guilty about past actions of mine and some I am still guilty of. However I try to get rid of the guilt and there are many ways. The quickest way of getting rid of the guilt is to open up to it and confess for the things that you have done. However that is also the hardest way because no matter who you are it takes a lot of courage to admit that you are wrong or you have done something wrong. The slowest way would be to let time take over and hope that one day you will forget about it. However somethings you can never forget, and the smallest things can remind you of it and bring the guilt back again. I myself try to talk it out all the time but it is very hard and many times I end up using other methods to make it up for the people effected by my actions.
