Love is never blind to the hurt. If the person who hurt us is an authority figure or, let us say, known to be very ‘godly’, we say to ourselves, ‘I didn’t see this. I didn’t hear this. This could not have happened; therefore it didn’t.’ The truth is, sometimes the people we admire most can be very mean and do hurtful things. It is of no value to pretend that we didn’t see.
