"The girl's father filed a legal complaint against the teacher and began a social media campaign over the incident based on his daughter's account. He identified Paty and the school in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, west of Paris". https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-56325254

If you are not a psychopath you get to a point in your life when you look back and review your life. Eric Erickson called it "Ego integrity vs. despair" and it is supposed to hit when you are in your 60's. It hit me at 40 and I have regrets. I wish I could take back the hurt I caused people but I can't. It is something that wears on me and I try not to make those same mistakes.

Causing the events that led to a man's murder is something that would color my life every day. I don't know if I could survive that type of guilt. I wonder if the father who orchestrated the hatred that caused that man's death is suffering or if he is just a psychopath that doesn't care. If he isn't a psycho and if his daughter isn't either then he has a hell of a life ahead of him. Not only will he feel despair over what he has done, he has caused his daughter a lifetime of despair.
