Jason's answer to you was excellent.  I'll just add one more thought.  At its  
simplest level, guilt is a feedback information system.  If I say something  
hurtful to somebody, some guilt may inform my future behavior -- or maybe  
remorse is a better word here.  Maybe I'll apologize or think twice before spouting  
off next time.  Beyond this usefulness, guilt is a way of reinforcing  
self-importance, of making the ego even stronger.  Some of us "nice" folks get locked  
into guilt because we have been socialized not to appear selfish.  Especially  
for us, the path to a spiritualized ego is not through being good or  
obsessively ruminating on our faults, it is through shining so brightly that we have  
no choice but to become our true selves.  The way to being a vehicle for God is  
through self-forgetting, expanding, being unselfconscious.  So let 'er rip!
