Today, I reached out and talked to someone that don't know very well personally. I do, however, have more feelings about him than I should; his family and my family have an unpleasant history, and I know friends that have been negatively impacted by some of his decisions.
But today, I saw a glimpse into his pains and weaknesses. I saw the more human side of him, and it was good. I feel like I learned a lot; I saw his ability to truly love. I also realized that while I can care about everyone (at least to a certain degree), I'm not always the person needed to help any given individual. While I talked to him today, I wasn't the person who needed to him help; our exchange was more for our benefit, and it softened my heart.
