How does one forgive themselves for past sins? At what point

>>3086917
I already told you we're all monsters now make peace with that or kys.

Or what, you need to talk about it or something?

Your good actions never have, and never will override all the bad you've done. You can be saved by grace alone.

One can't forgive oneself because forgiveness isn't yours to give. You need to seek a priest because priests have the authority to forgive sins.

Get a real problem like multiple sclerosis or inflammatory bowel disease or cancer, then you'll stop thinking about imaginary things like sin.

Don't forgive yourself. Just recognize your mistake and try to avoid it in the future.

Is a dialogue that only you and God can have. Is entirely possible to say God doesn't exists as Christian entity, but as a concept is the closest to explain my position. Point is, feeling regret over a sin only have purpose if you as individual care about someone else and the responsibility linked to it. Or would you feel is a sin to stomp an ant, or eat an egg? If you were the last man on earth, like in those apocalypses films, why would you feel you're committing a sin by breaking into private property or taking anything you want?

Therefore, sin only have sense when living in society, and therefore, redemption can't come from you alone, but from a dialogue with the Other, with the society, or God if you want to. Making a deal with Him is the only way to understand what's the nature of sin and therefore, the way to atonement. But that's a personal quest, and is hard to explain in words as it can only be experienced, not explained.

One who recognizes his own sin, has no sin.
But if you think you have no sin, you become a sinner.
This is a riddle known as the Circle of the Sin.
Only yourself can reveal the answer to the riddle.
