There is a great song in Bad Girls. One of the girls in prison is on the phone to her son. She has lied to him, saying she is travelling the world with her business, making money etc, because she was afraid he wouldn't accept her if she told him the truth, that she is a prostitute in prison. But it turns out he has found out that she has been lying to him. She says sorry, explains how she didn't want him to know the depths to which she had sunk, and the outcome is clear from the conversation on the phone (you only hear her side). It really is a great song.
In life, one of the greatest things anyone can receive from another is unexpected forgiveness, acceptance, love, when you expected or perhaps deserved rejection. That moment really is a mirror of divine love, the love of God, in human existence.
