Guilt, as experienced in Western
culture, is connected with hopelessness
and discouragement, and is
past-oriented. Genuine remorse,
however, is a healthy state of mind – it
is future-oriented, connected with hope,
and causes us to act, to change.
在西方文化的經驗裡,
罪惡感和絕望與沮喪連結, 與過去有關.
真誠的反省, 則是健康的心態 –
它與未來相關, 和希望連結,
讓我們採取行動, 去改變.
