In Judaism, we use the word teshuvah to talk about repentance, which means “return.” It’s about coming back to the best version of you, your integrity; it’s about coming back to the path that you wanted to be on before you started screwing up and harming out of ignorance, pettiness, laziness, sloppiness—out of all the reasons we hurt people. Do you want to be a harm doer? Probably not. So we need to do work to change that.
