Regret?

There’s a big difference between regret and repentance—the actual turning away from our wrongs. Too often we have an awakening and regret the way things have turned out—but we won’t turn away from our part in it. We hate that someone found out. We regret that we’ve been caught. But we’d still rather deceive people and cover things up instead of fessing up to the truth.—AHA Student Edition electronic edition
