But to pretend to love an adult unconditionally—that is, independently of his or her deeds—would mean that we should love even a cold serial murderer or a notorious liar if only he joins our group. Can we do that? Should we even try? Why? For whose sake?
Love has many forms. One is understanding and another is acceptance. A criminal mind lives with a likely broken heart. Do not condone, but please try to understand. Only by doing so we will be able to accept the possibility of a shift in the criminal mind.
