Do you believe in second chances?

Here's an interesting article on the subject:

4 Reasons to Give Someone a Second Chance

New research on how forgiveness can actually benefit you.

Only if it benefits me somehow. Otherwise, why should I waste my time and energy on a human being who wronged me?

Nope...you only get 1.

You all know this community you see here now is only here in its current state because of second chances? If there was no second chances to be offered, this place would not be here right now. I do believe in second chances for those who genuinely changed their mind in regards to whatever wrong thing they did and were convinced was right. It's why some accounts on this forum remain dormant because those people don't believe in it while others are active because they do. As for me personally, I am here because I have seen no reason to believe that Nebulous hasn't changed and while that doesn't prove he has genuinely changed but it is enough for me to take a chance on him and give him a second chance to see what happened. It's a risk but one I am willing to take.

I don't know about anyone else, but...

Definitely not. Mess up once and you'll do it again.

Aww thanks! That is a very good observation, glad you decided to give me and this forum a second chance.

Its crazy certain people are still holding grudges over something that happened 6 years ago. Life is too short to harbor bitterness and resentment for that long, especially over a forum and especially after I sincerely apologized to everyone for closing this place. I am hopeful owners of those dormant accounts will come around one day. I know a few of them are periodically viewing this forum as a guest and are probably reading this thread right now. My message to those individuals is: log back into your account and stop being a sour puss. I hold no ill-will towards anyone and I just want to be friends again. If you do decide to return, you'll be welcomed back with open arms!

I believe in second chances myself. We're all human and make mistakes. If you cut people off the moment the mess up then you need to hold yourself to your own standard of perfection and never make a single mistake ever in your life. Good luck with that!

Everyone can make as many mistakes as they feel like, as long as no one else feels or suffers the consequences of those mistakes. For example, if I want to crash my car over and over again, and no one except me is negatively impacted by it, I don't see the problem. My car, my time, my money. Of course, I'm exaggerating a bit here, but my point still stands.

You may argue against my logic when ready. Go!
