There is a widely read book that tells us everyone is a sinner. Of course, not everyone feels guilt over the bad things they do. In contrast, there are those who assume more than their share of the blame. There are others who soothe their consciences with small acts of kindness. Or by telling themselves their sins were justified. Finally, there are the ones who simply vow to do better next time, and pray for forgiveness. Sometimes, their prayers are answered.

有一本广泛流传的书（《圣经》）告诉我们每个人都是罪人。当然并不是所有人做完坏事之后都会内疚，相对的，也有人承担了过多的罪过。有些人会做些小小的善事来安抚他们的良心；或者告诉自己他们是替天行道。最后，有些人仅仅发誓说下次会做得更好，并祈求原谅。有时他们的祈祷得到了回应。
