He seemed to have experienced all faces of suffering. His precocious dark past haunted him always. His mother was murdered. His wife left him and took their children a thousand miles away from him. He spent time in prison. And he bought prostitutes to satiate his needs.

Yet, despite all this, he was a man who empathized with rapists, murderers, and thieves.
