“When repentance is mixed with pride, then the person will be constantly thinking, ‘How did I ever do that? And others saw it! What will they think of me?’ Thus, man is tormented with such thoughts. There is no repentance in asking, ‘How could I have done this again?’ or What have I come to? It’s egoism.”
–Elder Paisios (July 12, 1994)
