Guilt and Freedom
Posted by editormum on 15 August 2010 in Uncategorized | ∞
It is only by accepting real guilt that I am able to feel free of guilt … if I am not free to accept guilt when I do wrong, then I am not free at all. If all my mistakes are excused, if there’s an alibi, a rationalization for every blunder, then I am not free at all. I have become subhuman.
— Madeleine L’Engle in The Summer of the Great-Grandmother
