Second Chance

If a friend or a lover is late to meet you for lunch or forgets your birthday, it's probably okay to give him or her a second chance. But more serious offenses, such as being unfaithful, getting drunk and becoming abusive, or maliciously starting a terrible rumour about you, probably do not deserve another chance.

Some people deserve a second chance more than others. These include:

  • Those who have been understanding, compassionate, and forgiving toward you
  • Those who generally treat you with consideration, kindness, and respect
  • Those who have genuinely apologized and taken responsibility for their offensive behaviour
