So there's this guy on One Tree Hill. He's the definitive bad guy. Yes, i'm talking about Dan. He's manipulative, cruel, nasty... and a murderer.
He kills his own brother, because he thought that his brother had once tried to kill him. Turns out that it wasn't his brother, but his wife... but Dan didn't find that out until after he'd shot his brother. Oops. Immediately, he was wracked with guilt and his life was worth nothing. Eventually he turned himself in. Four years later, he was released from jail. He tried to make amends with his family - but they didn't want a bar of them.
I feel so sorry for him. I mean, sure, he did the wrong thing. And he paid for it - he lost everything and spent time in prison. Of course, that doesn't undo the wrong that he did, nothing would ever bring back his brother. I know that i should hate him. Loz does - she thinks i'm nuts. But seeing the miserable look on Dan's face when his family turns his back on him is heartbreaking. Do people deserve a second chance for forgiveness, no matter what their crime was?
Tha answer to that is probably not. In my more rational moments, i get that. But when i'm watching his face crumple and his desparate bid for forgiveness i feel so sorry for him. I know it's only a TV show, but i tend to have these responses in everyday situations too, so maybe i'd respond the same way if it was real life? Anyway, either way, i feel sorry for Dan Scott.
