I used to be a real nasty piece of work. I hated groups of people with a passion, notably Jews and Pakistanis (without ever actually interacting with them!). I was part of a teenage gang that got in to inter-racial fights and smashed up foreign-owned shops on the high street. I was an uneducated, blinkered thug who lived for violence and the 'White cause'.
Then I saw something that changed my life. A few friends and I were following a particularly vocal Jewish shop owner home from owrk one night with the intention of beating him. We saw him go in his house, then the kitchen light come on, and his wife there- she handed him their baby, and after a hard day at work, the shop owner hugged the baby to his chest.
It was then I realised we're all the same. We all love our families, we all laugh at jokes, we all like sunsets and cool drinks on hot days. I was dumbstruck by the evil I had done and put it as right as I could with my own means.
Let's all just get along?

Bless you. Have you ever thought of becoming a professional speaker, telling your story and inspiring others? That would be a great avenue for trying to make things right.
