As humans, being able to connect with other humans is part of our nature.
I admire people who can connect with the humanity in people who are otherwise shunned by society. I admire people who can forgive those who have caused devastating harm. I admire people who look beyond the superficial to that deeper human connection.
I admire them, because those are things that I struggle with myself. Forgiveness of a perpetrator, and by extension forgiveness of and connection with the perpetrator's family, is something that I respect, while only minimally understanding it.
