Man, I still feel bad for arguing over 50 cents with that old lady selling mangoes last summer.

Wait, didn't sagec67 say not to beat yourself up? That guilt is proof you're a decent person now. I bet she forgot about it an hour later, but you're still learning from it, which is what matters.

Does that kind of guilt ever hit you out of nowhere? It's like our brains save those moments to remind us to be better. Don't beat yourself up over it, we've all been there.
