At some point in time, everyone comes across this cliche situation where a person close to us (or used to be) asks for a second chance to make amends to whatever wrong they have done to us. Now these 'wrongs' committed by such people were certainly deliberate, although while explaining their plea.. they mostly justify it by a casual 'I never meant it!' line. Most of the forgiving souls pardon that brief interlude of pain and let go off their grudges. While most others, including me.. look at it like our kidneys are being asked in return! While I pondered over this 'issue' of mine where I found second chances so absurd, my dear mother brought on the same topic. She argued that forgiving is important and essential in life because if God would be obstinate on the same issue, then no one on earth could ask for mercy and ergo it'll be one 'Helluva' time! Although I hated admitting it, she had a point.. but the problem was not about forgiving people.. it was mainly allowing that someone back into the place they held in your life, now that was hard to achieve. No matter what the stakes are, anyone is bound to keep their guard up to avoid being hurt again. The question lies.. is there room for giving a second chance to such second chances as you live life only once, or is it better to just take the high road and give new lease to life. Only time can tell.
