Learning

The happy learner cannot feel guilty about learning.

This is so essential to learning that it should never be forgotten.

The guiltless learner learns easily because his thoughts are free.

Yet this entails the recognition that guilt is interference, not salvation, and serves no useful function at all.

Perhaps you are accustomed to using guiltlessness merely to offset the pain of guilt, and do not look upon it as having value in itself.
 
You believe that guilt and guiltlessness are both of value, each representing an escape from what the other does not offer you.
 
You do not want either alone, for without both you do not see yourself as whole and therefore happy. Yet you are whole only in your guiltlessness, and only in your guiltlessness can you be happy.
 
There is no conflict here. To wish for guilt in any way, in any form, will lose appreciation of the value of your guiltlessness, and push it from your sight.
