Reflections

Make note of “moral beauty” this week whenever you encounter it—instances of the heart functioning well, in the service of the well-being of others. What is it like to make note of that?

Are there areas in your life that you notice helpful remorse or regret—concerns about doing something that may have violated your own sense of integrity, or concerns about potentially causing harm to others? In your experience, what is the difference between the kind of remorse that may lead to more skillful action in the future, and the kind that is shame-driven and paralyzing?
