What is the skillful way of dealing with feelings guilt or regret about past unwholesome actions? Does one just except those actions as being in the past, recognise the emotions when they arise and let them go or does one attempt to right one's wrongs?
Purely for example, a man steals to pay for a drug habit later in life he feels regret and so volunteers at workshop for young addicts.
Any thoughts?
