Early the next morning Laban kissed his grandchildren and his daughters and blessed them. Then he left and returned home. The departure of Laban — with kisses and blessing — is the emotional completion of the separation. The man who has exploited Jacob for twenty years is a grandfather who genuinely loves his grandchildren. Both are true. The application: the people who have harmed us most are often also people with genuine loves. Both can be true of the same person.
