Second chances are overrated. Not everyone gets them, not everyone deserves them and not everyone values them. In most cases people tend to think that whatever they did wrong the first time, they will turn it around the second time. I don’t really get this concept. If it were supposed to go right, there wouldn’t have been the need for a second chance. But still lets give them the opportunity to give it a try. Yet the people who ask for a second chance at redemption don’t always realise it when they have it and are too quick to squander it away. The second thing that feels quite similar is the concept of forgiveness in today’s world. Admit it, you know it too, most people don’t really understand what that means. The ones who deserve it, are not really offered a chance and the ones who get it never really wanna accept it. What most people don’t get it that if you are truly forgiving someone, you don’t need to let it be known over and over again, coz if you do, you haven’t really either forgiven or forgotten. If you are really ready to forgive someone for whatever crime or mistake( apparently the dividing line has become too frail) that they committed, just forget about it and move on. Stop trying to make the other person feel that how grateful he should feel for getting your forgiveness. If its a gift, it needs to be a silent one. And for the people who are lucky enough to be blessed by someone’s true forgiveness, accept the gesture and move on. If the victim wanted you punished, you would face the judgement. Be glad that you aren’t, thank them and just make something better of it. There is no glory in rejecting a heartfelt forgiveness because that doesn’t do anyone any good. The other person anyways has let it go, the best you can do is not ruin something or someone else over this. Finally the last troubling thought that I can’t just let go is the difficulty or rather incapability of most of the people to accept certain, if not all things how they are. I get it, we constantly wanna try and make things better and that is what we devote most part of our lives to, but simple saying, there are several such instances or occurrences or circumstances that are simply beyond our control or rather’s beyond anyone’s control. Why do people still keep hammering at such things, trying over and over again to chip off anything from the existing structure and make it better(according to their personal belief). Yes its great to strive for excellence but frankly the mantra of acceptance in so many places works wonders. There is no joy in fretting over something that cannot change. Its just good logic to spend that thought or energy in something else, life has so much more to show, all you need to do is look closely with open eyes.
