This document arises from the need to describe guilt from another, freer and more bearable scenario, as a reality that emerges and accompanies human beings in the learning process of their constant transformation. It describes different disciplines that have investigated the vicissitudes of guilt and with them the realities of two cultures: Oromo Tribe (East Africa) and Mexican, being referents and resources to accompany each other in the same guilt; sometimes being a tie or propitiator of personal growth; through stories narrated in the different stages of life, as possible generators and transformers of personality, behaviours and ways of living in front of a world that was given. Therefore, "The defiant face of guilt" is an incentive to encourage one's own conceptualisation of guilt, inviting to live it shared, that is to say, as a way of living thrown into the world and in the drama of existence itself.
