I think you were responding to me?
It does absolve you from guilt over things that were unforeseeable. I have to keep reminding my mother of this from time to time -- you did the best with the information you had -- at the time. You can't beat yourself up forever for things that you didn't know, things that you
couldn't have known.
If your actions are good, honorable, ethical, moral, worthwhile... you have lived up to your highest possibility. Doesn't matter if your life sucked, if you made a billion dollars, if you were loved, if you died in a ditch. What you
do is all that matters.
