What a culture shock for you!
I agree wholeheartedly that people can become enlightened if they are willing to keep an open mind and heart. Society and culture can follow suit. If one can be judged by the terrible thing that they have done then it seems fair to also judge them for the good things they have done. When is a screw up so bad that we don’t give someone another chance? I don’t know the answer but it’s a question worth asking.
