One of the many humbling things about this job is how much we learn about reslience and forgiveness.
People go through the most horrendous of experiences and yet can come through without resentment or hostility.
Take, for example, a gentleman whose long, full, principled life has come to an end. A few years ago, he was in a hotel bar when he met a couple of Germans. The conversation went like this.
"I lived in Germany for a a few years."
"Really? Where did you live?"
"Stalag XX-B"
You gotta love people like that.

Doesn't a little understatement go a long way? Marvellous! Hideously embarrassing for the Germans, I expect, initially. But then I am sure he instantly put them at their ease!
