If in fact the story is true the man is paying a unforgivable debt and will be for the rest of his life. Sometimes we do things or act in ways for reasons that we can not explain. Or we have an abundance of unwanted problems on our minds and we tend to take them out on the people we love the most. It doesn't make it right to do but it happens nonetheless. Then we pay ungodly prices for it. Words can do a lot of hurt and bad things and sometimes words can fix things but it is always better to let your actions speak for you. That is why it is so hard to actually communicate truth and reality online.
