This may not seem like something that has any kind of link with information science or technology, but in truth and in fact it's older than them both. What i am talking about is grace. No, not your prayers before you have your meal if that's your thing, but rather unmerited favor. No matter how much a lawyer studies he/she will never know every law there is and may end up breaking on, and it is almost inevitable that some newcomer will brake a rule without even knowing. No matter how much you think you know a persons' likes and dislikes you may still unintentionally hurt them.
What i am trying to say is, grace is a part of us even if we are not conscious of it. When we hurt someone without knowing, or break a law or rule unaware we are going to want it extended to us. I think it's only fair that we seek to give the said especially to those who think do not deserve it.
