Simplified Meaning:
When a person starts feeling genuine regret for their mistakes, it's like they are starting a fresh, better chapter in their life. Imagine someone who has hurt a friend by lying. When they finally realize their mistake and feel truly sorry, they are more likely to change their behavior and work towards fixing the friendship. This feeling of regret, or compunction, drives them to become a better person. It’s like planting a seed that grows into positive actions and changes. By acknowledging their mistakes, they can learn from them and improve their future. This teaches us that admitting our faults and feeling remorse is a powerful step toward self-improvement and healthier relationships.
