Second, third and fourth chances.

We all deserve second chances. We need second chances to right our mistakes, to mold our characters and to learn what it means to be  human. Humans are subjective, biased and often vain creatures. Learning to be kind often comes through difficult times and painful experiences. These experiences link us and create a continuum of human experience in which we learn to connect, relate and understand not only ourselves, but one another. Each lessons teach us something about ourselves,individuals and the societies we inhabit. Without having foil characters in our lives, we would never be able to understand ourselves. We wouldn't have anything to compare to and wouldn't have our layers peeled like an onion to get to the core. So because of these reasons, everyone needs and deserves a second chance. Second chances are hefty, but important lessons in childhood.

Second chances are important because instead of being condemned, we need chances to prove ourselves, they give us time to consider through and let all kinds of information and emotions sift through and often an understanding concludes them. Mistakes are parts of growing up. They are often the key to points in our lifetimes where we wish we could go back and change certain decisions and unsay words that might have flied out of our mouths like arrows. Mistakes grant us the room required to grow. We all make them regardless of any social, racial, religious, educational affiliations. We tend to make the most mistakes in our early years, that is probably when we learn the most and spend the rest of our lives trying to sift through those experiences in different shapes, colors, tastes and emotions. This is not to say we don't make big whoops in our adult lives, we do. But those tend to be a lot less forgiving. Nonetheless, we all require second chances in order to go on and cope with our lives. The thing is we all have to make countless mistakes in countless manners and topics before we find the right answers for ourselves, which in turn are continually questioned when the age group we are in changes and more experiences seeps in. You learn to question your rights, wrongs, the things you believe in and the principles you decide to adopt. We've all done it and we will do it time and time again. Unfortunately, I don't think it gets any easier as our personal constitutions adopts and evolves. It's good to have general guiding rules for a meaningful life we wish to posses. But just like real government constitutions we can never cover every possible point of woe and trying to do so will cause frustration, anger and even more mistakes. In general, constitutions that are shorter, have a little vague language in them goes for a long time without being changed too often. By political standards that is a good thing. So I opt out to be that way. This is not to say I don't have some detailed and pensive, silly rules. I try to keep them to a limited number though.
