Do you believe in giving second chances? ☆ヾ(･ε･*)ﾉﾞ

If there's attempt of repair, acknowledgement and genuine discourse, I'm more likely to act accordingly because I can respect the humanness of it all.

Otherwise, no.

Yes, but it does depend. I can give more chances, but the effort needs to be obvious

For me, depends on the genuineness and sincerity of reconciliation

Yes, and I am almost always glad that I do it

they exist

No. We gave a second chance to Trump. Look what happened.

I could NOT have been married to the ex for twenty five years if I was incapable of forgiving...again and again and again.

"Jesus teaches that forgiveness is limitless, commanding followers to forgive "seventy-seven times". He establishes an unbreakable link between receiving God’s mercy and showing it to others, warning that holding onto unforgiveness blocks God’s grace. This radical, unconditional grace frees people from the bitterness that steals joy." Faith Gateway.

Matthew 6:14
For if you let men have forgiveness for their sins, you will have forgiveness from your Father in heaven.
(BBE)

Matthew 6:15
But if you do not let men have forgiveness for their sins, you will not have forgiveness from your Father for your sins.
(BBE)

Depends on how cute her butt is.

In most cases, with caveats, it should be so. One caveat is that it depends on the seriousness of what the original offence is. Destroying a country's reputation may be considered too serous for them to be trusted again. Forgetting to put the bins out probably doesn't need total unforgiveness. Forgetting a wedding anniversary? 🤔 Now we're getting seriously challenged on the mercy front.

Generally I'm like "The first one is on me - the second one is on you and there won't be a third.

Yes, everyone makes mistakes.
Some are easier to forgive than others.

It depends on the situation. For the most part, yes.

I think it’s a little more complicated. Any “interaction” I have with someone else involves both of us.

If that other someone has not changed and I have not changed, then it’s all too likely it will happen again.

No ..not anymore
I understand no one is perfect but I'm only allowing myself to be an idiot once ...

Rarely

Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. No!

Depends on what happened on the first chance....

second chances are second nature to me

to a fault

I'm skeptical. I do believe people can change..yea, but I don't think change is something you claim, it's something you consistently show. Hope is important, but so is discernment. A second chance needs both.

Yes. But no more than that. Then it’s just a pattern in behavior that they don’t care to break.

People don't want a second chance bc they don't want to change. They want the catharsis they experience from being punished or paying their debt to you.

Nope.

Depends on the situation.

The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

I'm trying to think if giving a second chance to someone ever worked out for me and I can't think of any that did

When it comes to relationships, not really.
People usually part for good reason, and if things have gone wrong, they rarely ever come right again. You take the person back and you just get more of the same only worse, in my experience.

I believe in giving second chances that doesn't mean I'm not careful and it doesn't mean I'll let somebody fully back into my life if they can't show that they've changed and are more trustworthy

Rarely

As a older guy, fuck that

Depends on the grievance

Yes

Yes
