Lesson in Compassion

So one of my professors from last year resigned this weekend. He got caught with some questionable material on his computer and is under criminal investigation, so he resigned "under the pressure" the article said. I feel really bad for his wife and family. I even feel bad for him that he's made poor choices, even though he was never my favorite person in the world. It's interesting how no matter how much you dislike someone, you can still feel compassion for them, especially when the reasons I disliked him for were so petty.
I'm am grateful the Lord gives us the ability to forgive and move past the small things in life.
