The concepts of תשובה and אין מספיקין בידו לעשות תשובה--
תשובה being an accessing and changing of one's existential self and who he is, not what he does per se.... the ability and opportunity of accessing a depth of existential self-layer so that it's even possible to express regret, shame, etc regarding one's own particular evils in a meaningful lasting manner... hence, אין מספיקין בידו meaning the general sense of jadedness-apathy-lethargy-etc that we feel all too often in today's world, that doesn't allow us to even access that part of ourselves, that particular self-layer, where the potential lies for true-fundamental-existential expression and change...
"well you can't fight the tears that 'aint comin ...when everything feels like the movies, yeah you bleed just to know you're alive..." (Goo Goo Dolls)
I thought it's beautifully seen in the pasuk וימנע מרשעים אורם-- איוב לח
אור לא נאמר אלא אורם \i.e. the light and infinity that is within them themselves, at deeper levels....
