"regrets, I have a few .."
ashamed of things I've done
and all that "well, don't beat yourself up
about it" shit
I mean, well, hell, and why not
if it was wrong
and yes, there are those
who think guilt
is a sort of psychiatric disorder
and "you shouldn't feel so bad about
it"
I'm not a monster ..

I agree one shouldn't eschew feeling guilty; it demonstrates compassion and regret, which in turn signals growth. However, I would as ( rather than not to beat yourself up ) to put yourself in the the shoes of someone ( you care about ) who's regretful about something they did in their past.
Ask yourself what you would advise.
Forgiveness is most difficult for our self.

but surely forgiveness lies in the hand of the wronged
rather than the wrongdoer -
and doesn't forgiving oneself
seem rather like fixing the jury .. :)

Forgiveness isn't about anyone but self ( be it victim or perpetrator ) that we move forward by letting go of the past.
Forgiveness is a Sacred Contract of growth you have with yourself, of overcoming bad decisions by not making them again. Its not fixing the jury: It's something to be proud of.

I know nothing...I only have my beliefs and most of those are on shaky ground...so I try to be kind when possible...say sorry if I have to and pour myself a Jack...then move innocently into the next moment. A good thinking poem Paul.

I too know nothing -
I knew nothing from a very early age,
according to my school reports ..

forgiveness is incredibly overrated.
guilt fades away but never goes
rationalisation is the true compulsion u have to fight. guilt and forgiveness aren't opposites. guilt and carelessness are.
^ my opinion
