Guilt is clearly one of the worst places to be. No positive motivation. Incredibly close to self-pity.
There is an energy behind it though that I think can lead to breakthroughs and eventual joy!

Yes—I would think of such a breakthrough as precisely the revelation of its true nature, conscience, the voice of the soul (or even God) within us all; beyond the tiresome games of human social and moral drama, a touch of our true nature.
