Interesting use of language there. Is this kind of like Catholicism, except that instead of confessing in private before God and the priest, one confesses on social media before fifty million?

To lean in to the Catholic metaphor, “contrition” isn’t just about confessing one’s sins (especially if one only confesses after being caught) but about experiencing genuine remorse and repentance. I think that standard can apply just as easily to the secular world as the spiritual one.
