Confession and Examination

Confession and examination are practices of self-reflection, honesty, and making amends. They are found in Christianity (confession), Judaism (Yom Kippur), Buddhism (atonement), and other traditions.

Self-examination: Regularly reviewing one’s actions, motives, and attitudes. Confession: Admitting faults and seeking forgiveness from the divine and others. Making amends: Taking steps to repair harm and restore relationships.

These disciplines foster humility, growth, and freedom from guilt and resentment.
