Second Chances.

Philippines
October 26, 2016 8:41pm CST
People made mistakes. The result of the mistakes caused harm, hurt and pain to those afflicted. Realizing these mistakes will want us for a chance to make it right. Apologies are mostly asked. We always say "Sorry" and "Forgive me", hoping that our apologies will be accepted and move on. However, some damages are not that easy to be fixed with apologies. A simple sorry would mend the scratches but it won't heal the deepest wound. The reason why relationship breaks apart is because forgiving is not that easy if the damage has been done over and over again. Would it be nicer if after asking for forgiveness, one should also ask how to mend the damages done?... It's like a willingness to fix what has been broken. Like a child giving a candy as a peace offering after a quarrel over a broken toy. If you want a second chance of friendship, after that gruesome fight, reach out and made peace. Ask of what you can do to make the relationship whole again... if you are sincere in reconnecting the lost connection. Second chances deserve for those who change for the better. Who realized their mistake and learn from their mistakes. Not just by saying "Sorry."..... (c) Photo is mine.

I agree. Offering to mend the problem goes a long way to mending a relationship or friendship.

Though it's not easy, the effort says too much.

Well, to forgive takes a lot of guts. Some people just think they can get away with it, but people don't forgot the bad things done.

And they didn't realised that those people who allows to forgive them loves them, are the same people who are being hurt over and over again.

that is right, people commit mistake because this is part of our human being, but the most important thing is for us to be given second chance when we wanted to transform our lives.
