I've learned a lot watching this episode. The most important thing it taught me was to not over think things and just live your life in the sense that you just have to let it happen. Do something meaningful to you not to others.
The one question I would have asked "Did you ever return to visit the man you nearly killed as a teenager?" ... I would have wanted to hear that response.
He said the right thing to do would be to try to find the blinded man and make amends, and admitted he has not done so, but added that he was no longer burdened by guilt: "You have to go and ask for forgiveness and it wasn't until I really started doing good and doing right by other people, as well as myself, that I really started to feel that guilt go away. So I don't have a problem going to sleep at night. I feel good when I wake up in the morning."
@pacovl46 Meanwhile some poor guy in Dorchester is thinking, "I wish I still had both my eyes," as he nods off under a bridge. I still feel guilty about teasing kids in grade school. You know why? Because it's the only morally sound attitude of someone responsible for doing wrong to another human. Wahlberg could easily track down his victim from police records and try to compensate. He served 45 days for attempted murder. But hey, millionaire now and sleeps fine. Epic douche.
Look mate, i completely get where u r coming from and i agree, he should've compensated the man, but mark has clearly changed. he's not the thug he was anymore. he does a lot of good things now trying to make up for it. and no matter what someone did eventually they'll be able to sleep at night again. and just because he's not burdened by guilt anymore doesn't mean he doesn't feel guilty at all about it anymore. he knows what he did and he came to terms with it. cut the guy some slack.
@drivebymessiah as far as the attempted murder charge goes i think it's ridiculous. he clearly did not attempt to kill the guy for a couple of beers. he wanted to knock him over so he could steal the beers and the pole, stick, bat or whatever it was he was using slipped off the shoulder and hit the guy in the head. it was an "accident". so attempted murder is clearly not the right term to describe what happened adequately.
@bxbomb69 The actor commented in 2009: "I've made a lot of mistakes in my life and I've done bad things, but I never blamed my upbringing for that. I never behaved like a victim so that I would have a convenient reason for victimizing others. Everything I did wrong was my own fault. I was taught the difference between right and wrong at an early age. I take full responsibility."[15]
This is insane, he nearly kills a man and makes him lose an eye, in addition to other violent crimes and Lipton is kissing his back-side saying it's not unfortunate we are what we are. Maybe Lipton and Wahlberg should lose an eye and nearly die at the hands of a thug and see if their philosophy of oh well we are what we are remains. It's good he has reformed himself but he clearly didn't serve long enough, other thugs mostly reoffend. Being rich now he should pay money to his victims.
a good response at 20:03 would have been : "what prothesis ?" :D

@pacovl46 it should have been aggravated assault with a deadly weapon with possible loss of life or something along the way.

He has said that he never went back to find the man who he attempted to murder and made him blind. He should find him and pay him for what he did.

For a guy who quit school at 13 he is very articulate; humble too. I really like him.

He obviously is very humble, and is clearly aware of how his past holds pain, both for those he hurt, and for himself.
