Scrooge
  • Should we expect a man so deep in repentance to spend a better part of the morning grieving for his transgressions?
  • Scrooge facing in the right direction, forward

Gestalts Switch
  • German word for “the big picture”, seeing something differently even though all it parts remain the same
  • Like repentance – don’t repent of a list of sins, we repent of the whole rather than the parts
  • Tends to happen all at once, not in a series of small steps
