“Guilt: the gift that keeps on giving.”
— Erma Bombeck

Simplified Meaning:
Feeling guilty is like a present you can never throw away. Once you feel guilt, it stays with you and keeps bothering you, just like that unwanted gift you can't return. Imagine you said something hurtful to a friend accidentally. Even after apologizing, the guilt can stay in your mind for days or even longer. Every time you think about it, you feel bad all over again. Guilt can keep popping up and reminding you of your mistakes, making it hard to feel good about yourself. Learning to forgive yourself and move on is important so that guilt doesn’t keep affecting your life.
