Can you describe an event or person in your life
that evoked the most profound sense of love or grace.
Like knowing someone loved or forgave you when you least deserved it.
Or someone did something that impressed you with true sense of humanity.

No.
i can't remember the exact incidents, but i've been a brat in my youth, and my mom and my grandmother never faltered. to have that net of love and support no matter what is amazing. it's a gorgeous thing.
my best friends too, i was going through a depression and was a miserable human being, didn't want to be around anyone, didn't want to see anyone, just wanted to curl up and die, but they wouldn't let me. i flaked so many times on them, and when it mattered, i still feel shitty about that, and they always went out of their way to comfort me and support me and set me straight, even when i was rejecting their help. it's an amazing feeling being loved more than you think you deserve, feeling so lucky to have certain people in your life. i'm beyond grateful.
and thanks to all of them, for growing up being loved like that, i see it in me now, i'm capable of rich, profound love, my love is a force to be reckoned with and it's incredibly empowering knowing that i can help and heal people, to soothe their pain. a lot of my friends reach out to me during times of distress, time after time, they come to mama! ;) haha! i feel very fortunate to have had it and to be able to share it now with others. it's good shit! ;)
I can think like empathising people.
This way there were some events, but I have forgotten them. For myself, they weren't important.
Here is one I can remember: A guy, I've beaten up in school was saying: "You are right, I'm wrong." (Ok, this was not the forgiveness, when I least deserved it.)
No. there is nothing like true sense of humanity, I've experienced.
