1 confession is good for the soul

посл.

( (open) confession is good for the soul)

признание облегчает душу

I've got plenty of money, still. That's what I wanted... money. And I got it. How... you two've got a pretty good idea. But confession's good for the soul, Father Flynn says, and I've got to make restitution for some of me [= my] misdeeds. (K. S. Prichard, ‘Winged Seeds’, ch. XXXV) — Впрочем, денег у меня достаточно, куча денег... Этого ведь я и добивался - денег. Ну что ж, и добился. А как?.. Это вы не хуже меня знаете. Но покаяние облегчает душу, если верить отцу Флинну, и, кажется, уже настало время замаливать грехи.

ⓘ GOOD FRIDAY En Grande-Bretagne, il est traditionnel, le jour du vendredi saint, de manger des "hot cross buns" (petits pains ronds aux fruits secs, marqués d'une croix).

ⓘ THE GOOD FRIDAY AGREEMENT Le processus de paix en Irlande du Nord, qui a été amorcé par les cessez-le-feu des groupes paramilitaires républicains et unionistes en 1994, a abouti au "Good Friday Agreement", l'accord de paix signé à Belfast en avril 1998. Cet accord, parrainé par les Premiers ministres britannique et irlandais, et finalement approuvé par le Sinn Féin et par la plupart des partis unionistes, a mis en place la "Northern Ireland Assembly", un parlement quasi autonome avec un partage démocratique du pouvoir entre les communautés protestante et catholique. Cet accord est une étape vers la fin de trente ans de guerre civile en Ulster.

ⓘ You've never had it so good Ce slogan a été utilisé pour la première fois aux États-Unis en 1952 par les Démocrates. Il signifie "vous êtes aujourd'hui plus prospères que jamais". En Grande-Bretagne, ce slogan est associé au Premier ministre conservateur Harold Macmillan qui l'utilisa dans un discours en 1957. Aujourd'hui, on utilise cette formule sur le mode ironique lorsqu'une situation n'encourage pas du tout à l'optimisme.
