Write down ten things which went wrong in your life

Each child is asked to write down a list of ten things which went wrong in their life. For example, each child can write about their worst experiences like 1.How did my favorite toy break? 2.My best friend went to an another school 3.My birthday dress got torn 4. I tripped dancing on the stage

Ask everybody to tell what they felt during that particular movement. What are the patterns created, how life has happened to them? This activity gives them an opportunity to relive that particular incident. This helps them to be aware of the thoughts which lead them to the negative things in life.

The three main contributors to Guilt are: 1. Guilt created by immediate family. 2. Guilt created by social laws.

3. Guilt created by ourselves. Guilt created by immediate family: Parents tell us that we should respect their wishes, if we are not able to follow their instructions we feel guilty of making them unhappy. Family sows the first guilt in us that passes on from generation to generation.

Children love to twirl but parents instill the fear in the child that they might fall and get hurt because of tumbling. 'No' by the mother actually has a deep impact on the child. It creates guilt in the child. If the mother says 'No' for playing in the rain and jumping, the child forces himself to stay in, or if he goes out without telling his parents, he will feel guilty, he will be afraid that somebody might spot him. As the child grows, this deep ingrained sense of guilt will actually settle inside him. Small incidents like this collect and make guilt your natural way of life. For example when you pour milk if mother shouts at you, learn from this incident to be more careful and aware.

From seven to fourteen, society creates guilt in you through its rules. The guilt based on fear is created by social laws. Follow rules by understanding. Society instils in you the feeling that you are not enough unto yourself. It makes you feel guilty of what you are and what you do. The guilty person can never be at ease with himself. He will always lack self confidence. This is where society steps in and exploits him. Society functions on your guilt, the more you feel guilty, the more society becomes powerful.

Guilt created by you (ourselves): The guilt sown in you by family and society grows roots inside you. Then you start creating guilt for yourself without any reason. The guilt created by family and the guilt created by the society are imposed guilt. They are like a crown that is passed on from one generation to another. But the third guilt is the one which we create for ourselves. When you internalize guilt based 'on greed and fear' , you create new types of guilt for yourself

Make the children aware of different types of guilt.

• v Name the three kinds of guilt?
• v How will you feel when not allowed to do things you like the most?
• v What happens when we point at somebody for mistakes?
• v Can we change the past?
• v Can a guilty person be at ease?
• v How do we feel when somebody blames us for the mistakes that we didn't do?
• v Have you felt guilty on any occasion? How did you overcome the guilty feeling? Can a person be happy and guilty at the same time?

Guilt is a manifestation of ego. We have to remember when we point at somebody for some mistakes we have to understand only one finger points at them the other three fingers points at us.
