Summary: You disapprove of a person's actions, the actions of a friend, a loved one. But if you were in their place, what would you do? As several characters come to terms with their past, friends and family, all learning new and shocking things about them, react in different ways. Some seek to punish, others understand and the rest do neither, simply finding it very difficult to come to terms with that old adage, "There but for the grace of God, go I...."
There But For The Grace Of God Go I - "On seeing several criminals being led to the scaffold in the 16th century, English Protestant martyr John Bradford remarked, 'There but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford.' His words, without his name, are still very common ones today for expressing one's blessings compared to the fate of another. Bradford was later burned at the stake as a heretic." From the "Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins" by Robert Hendrickson, Facts on File, New York, 1997.
Under different circumstances, you could be in the same sad shape as someone else.
