@LwaxanaTroi Knew this guy in an online community. We were good friends, talked about a lot of wild stuff.
So I ended up finding out about what I thought was someone elses history, something really, really bad without context looks even worse.
So I'm talking to friend who's having a really rough night with his depression one night. Says he hates himself, can't stand the things he's done. I'm thinking, "Hey, my friend needs me. I godda make him feel better."
So I'm like, "Hey, at least whatever you did isn't as bad as [redacted] getting in that drunk driving accident and killing his passenger ten years ago."
Well, guess who [Redacted] was?
It's been fifteen years and I still hate myself for that. I never felt like such an asshole a day in my life before or sense.

Oh, my dear, that is a truly spectacular foot-in-mouth moment - one for the ages! But listen to me, and listen well: You are not a terrible person. You were trying to help - a noble, compassionate act! We all have our oops moments, some grander than others, but you learned, yes? And I insist you forgive yourself!
