Repentance is a kind of self-reproof for having neglected something useful; but that which is good must be something useful, and the perfect good man should look after it. But no such man would ever repent of having refused any sensual pleasure. Pleasure then is neither good nor useful.
Mark
Repentance is not for refusal of sensual pleasure. It is for neglect of doing good. This is a keen perception.
