I spent a day driving up and down the coast with this man. He showed me a spot in the road where he hit a man years ago and killed him, taking away the father of a family of four. He also told me that throughout his life he fathered 16 children, only 2 of whom he raised. Then he told me which countries I should go to to find the most beautiful women. I watched him play with his grandson later that day and he seemed content as can be. At no point throughout the day did I detect any signs of deep suffering or regret in his expression or tone, including the recounting of his past. El Salvador
