THE SAVING SIN
|
A civilization marked by Christianity, which asserted
that every man is a sinner and developed in each of its members a consciousness
of sin risks being followed by one in which remorse could, on the one
hand, thanks to its rejected, secretly gnaw at the psyche of individuals
who think themselves free of all guilt ; and, on the other hand, could
be projected endlessly onto others in the irrational pursuit of vengeance
rather than justice. |
