GRATITUDE
Grace is not ignorant of what you did. It has the whole record and still talks to you about what comes next, which is what distinguishes it from being excused by someone who does not know. Being fully known and still addressed is a different experience from being let off.

What would you attempt if your history did not disqualify you?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
