never forgive & forget

I really like this boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes who can't even speak clearly, and his mouth is very curved when he laughs.
Why do people around him no longer trust him, cast aside him, and deny him after knowing his past? Do people really hate the murderer because they sympathize with the girl who was murdered more than ten years ago? uncertain. Those who kept saying they wanted the murderer to pay for their lives and grieved for the innocent dead, after the incident came to an end, almost no one remembered the girl's death, no one would hold her skirt and cry, touch her photos, miss her smile and her everything, It was the girl's parents who really left the irreparable scars. Therefore, these people's accusations are not simple, with malicious and even a little sinister selfishness.
I was thinking the other day: how do we "nihilize" things that have nothing to do with us? Here is not nothingness, but hurt.
Precisely because it is irrelevant, it is possible to say irresponsibly, "You murderer, how could I be blind...", completely ignoring all the efforts and progress this person has made to change himself. We know that it is not easy to leave a good impression on the people around, and it requires long-term good management, but it is extremely easy to destroy the image, and it is more difficult to turn over than to climb to the sky. Everyone will remember the mistakes you made, and no one really believes that you will change over. Not only do they not want to see your changes and progress, but they even have to step on you when you fail. Human nature is like that.
Another, when Jack and Philip were children, Philip reminded me without warning of the Dog chapter of Yiyi's "Goth + Broken Palm Incident" that I just read yesterday. An abused child can either become a wreck or the most vicious and ruthless vindictive.
