I think now there's much more of a confessional culture. That's not my bag. I come from a slightly older school of thought: 'give 'em nothin.' You don't plead guilty.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Many religious confessions share common values. They teach that we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us.
People plead guilty or admit to crimes they didn't commit for various reasons. Certain interrogation procedures produce high rates of false confessions.
I am ashamed of confessing that I have nothing to confess.
Where all are guilty, no one is; confessions of collective guilt are the best possible safeguard against the discovery of culprits, and the very magnitude of the crime the best excuse for doing nothing.
A confession has to be part of your new life.
There are, I believe, many more false confessions to murders than true confessions.
There are things to confess that enrich the world, and things that need not be said.
The end of confession is to tell the truth to and for oneself.
I don't know, maybe it's because I was raised Catholic. Confession has always held a great appeal for me.
Sadly, we do a much better job of making people feel guilty than we do of delivering them from the guilt we create. We need to confess this and change our ways.
