Guilt is a stepping off point. It can lead to positive things like sympathy and remorse, or it can lead to negative things like depression or self pity.
What specifically is it okay to feel guilty about? Anything you feel you've done wrong. If I cut someone off in traffic, it's okay to feel guilty. Hopefully that guilt will aid me in tempering my driving from now on. The direction the guilt takes you will determine if it's "good" or not.
