Study of a guilty (left panel)

Guilt arises because we do not live up to rules and expectations. Guilt is an agent and its efficacy accumulates, with some of us more than with others. Guilt cannot be redeemed by undoing, we cannot step back from the trap so we must go forward, albeit stumbling and limping by the weight. Religion offers mercy, atonement and forgiveness, whatever the guilt.
