Inspired by Martin Buber (1878-1965) - Guilt Feelings

Ran Lahav interviews Linda La Pena, a member of the Deep Philosophy Group, about what inspired her in the essay “Guilt and Guilt Feelings” by philosopher Martin Buber (1878-1965).
We all know what it means to feel guilty about something bad we did in the past, perhaps even years ago. Importantly, what was done was done, and we cannot erase our actions from the past. Buber discusses the meaning of such guilt feelings and what they tell us about human life.
Martin Buber (1878-1965) was a Jewish Austrian-born Israeli philosopher, writer, and activist. He is best known for his dialogical philosophy, which understands human beings in terms of their relations with each other.

Can we move on whitout entertaining the narrative that make us who we've become today ? It seems a hard path - because the more you cling to the guilt, the more you are stabbing yourself for the past that can't be erased. Then remerbering that we are always able to become better is really the true salvation by integrating the past but transcending it in the outcome. Thanks for this interview ! I will ponder over this text !

Indeed, Florent, as you say, how to move forward beyond the guilt over the past - this is the topic of Buber's essay, and of the interview with Linda. The challenge is how to move forward not by simply forgetting the past, but by a true inner understanding and development. Thanks!
