When someone makes a mistake, they often feel guilty. This guilt can feel heavy, like a weight on their shoulders. It might be the first time they've done something wrong, and they wish they could undo it. This feeling of guilt is natural, as it's our conscience reminding us to learn from our mistakes and strive to do better in the future.
