“We believe in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another.”

Guilty Dauntless?

"My mother and father would not approve of my kicking someone when she's down... I don't care." ( Chapter 14 par.48-9) 

Tris wants to believe that she no longer cares what her parents think. But the fact that her parents were the first thing she thought of when she did it shows that she really does care. We know that Dauntless has transformed Tris from a gentle charity worker to a heartless fighter; but no matter how fearless she acts she will still always carry the love of her parents with her. She can't help how she feels gentleness and bravery at the same time, because she is Divergent. She feels everything, including guilt.
