In a supposedly secular society we are still obsessed with Puritanical Guilt.
Society and each of its members reflect the overall state of the country. A sense of guilt carried forward endlessly is negative and destructive for the inner self. Hence our tabloid way of screaming daily at all sorts of "perverts". The louder we scream the more obvious it's supposed to be that we would never do such things ourselves.
Remember: if you feel bad about what kind of person you used to be, it is only because you are a better person now than you were then. Otherwise you would not even be feeling bad about it. Guilt is meant to be a signal; listen to the signal and move on. Carrying endless guilt is against evolution.
The International Academy of Consciousness, http://www.iacworld.org, claims from its research that there are only about sixty "serenissimos" -humans who have evolved all the way. If this is true, and we have no way of really knowing, it would mean that those top sixty nearly perfect humans would have experienced everything known to mankind, including all the bad stuff from both sides. Whether the figure of sixty is correct or not, the principle is the same. You evolve through conscious experience. There is no other way. Staggering thought.
We are evolving all the time. We move on and forgive ourselves, or else we stay bogged down for ever.
Only when you forgive yourself can you truly forgive others. We are all drops in the same ocean.
Obsession with evil will produce more of the same. Violence begets violence, including State Violence. Fear will generate more Fear. Learn to rise above the clamour of self-righteousness and just be quietly better every day. Evolution is endlessly slow, and sometimes painful. It includes trial and error, mistakes and corrections, hurt and forgiveness, always driving upwards and gaining new ground.
