Self-Pity is one element in human nature that no one needs to live with as it is unprogressive. Self-Guilt however is a totaly different thing. When you feel guilty, some chose to remain in their 'self-pity' state while others will try to amend their mistakes and move on with their life. In the end, it's no one's fault..... however, I do believe that we as a human being do hold the answer to change the fate of others.
