How to use "Guilt" in context?
When something goes wrong, people often feel guilty. Guilt is a mental state in which somebody feels responsible for something that has gone wrong. It is a powerful tool that can influence a person's emotions and behavior. Guilt can make a person feel ashamed, sad, and angry. Guilt can also lead to tension and conflict. Guilt is a natural response to wrongdoing, but it can be unhealthy if it's obsessed or if it's used as a justification for behaviors that are harmful.
