When it was my fault: owning up and making it right, sentence 3

Guilt is useful when it tells you to care more next time, and useless when it just tells you to hate yourself every night; helping his sister while her arm healed did more for both of them than lying awake.

Who acts: Guilt, helping · What happens: be, tell, care, hate, help, heal · To what, where: you, yourself, sister, arm, more · Speech: someone speaks here
