Learning to Lack Guilt

Guilt is one thing in a court of law...
either an accurate assessment
or a distortion of justice.
But what about the mass of us,
the "good girls" — or boys —
who feel guilty without adjudication
or even justification, feelings of culpability
especially for imagined offenses
or from a sense of inadequacy.
What about those of us who
consistently self reproach?
What if unjustified guilt
is your dominant character defect?
They say to look for the opposite,
to practice that as a substitute.
Try to look up the opposite of guilt!
Having the trait, you can even feel guilty
for not being able to find one...
What about acceptance of who you are?
How about developing growth?
Can you learn to forgive yourself
for feeling guilty?
