Second Chances

I believe in giving people second chances. People aren't perfect and surely they'll make a mistake one point in their life that will affect them and the people around them. People need that second chance to fix that mistake to say, "I can fix what I've done" or "I've changed".

I always give people chances because some people don't get that second chance. Another chance is like a fresh sheet of paper that you're ready to sketch on after getting rid of the first sheet of paper with that mistake that is impossible to remove. Hopefully instead of making another mistake, you'll end up with a work of art.

I used to have a friend who always ruined our friendship with the same mistake that bothered me so much. I gave him a handful of chances in hope that he'd fix it somehow --however he never did. He crumpled up that chance as well as the others and threw it away.

Second chances can be used for anything, whether it be a broken promise, something someone said, or an action done that shouldn't have been done. Also, these chances can be given to anyone, it doesn't matter who you are; that's what everyone needs --another chance. With that they can make everything better...everything right-- that chance is all for improvement.

I'm often questioned by people why I give out so many chances to people because according to those who asked, those chances are wasted; they never work. That is their belief though. I, on the other hand, believe that these second chances work-- though the change won't be abrupt-- it takes some time, and you see whether or not that person is willing enough to fix it. I've gotten into disputes with my friends over the stupid things we say without thinking-- and some may be hurtful but another chance is always given and with that chance we are able to mend our friendship into something stronger than it was before.

and that is what I believe. I believe in second chances and that they can bring good things-- the best out of people...no matter what or how many chances it takes.
