Via a friend:

You need to learn how to repent. Repentance, in practice, looks much less like mourning in the dumps, and much more like lighthearted sociopathy.

I’ve been thinking about that quote. I don’t think I fully agree about the process of repentance. I do agree about the results of repentance. The repentant man looks very much like someone going around cheerfully and insociantly righting the wrongs he has done, but bugging people because he acts like he doesn’t have a care in the world.
