Many times in our daily life,we are overcome by Remorse for the mistakes committed.
sometimes unknowingly,we tend to speak words which others deem as hurtful or violent.

We experience Remorse because we live not alone but are interconnected to our friends and family,and it is natural to react differently to different situations under different circumstances.

Best thing is to Stop running away,confront the guilt,mistakes,regret and remorse.Try to overcome Remorse through self reproach or emotional adjustment that promises pardon.if you really feel you have hurt the other person,apologize,clear your mind and heart and move on.life has so much to give,get on with your life.
