I don't believe in second chances. But i might be proven that I am wrong. Once a vow or a promise is broken I do believe that nothing you may do, will ever turn back the clock and change things exactly as they were beforehand. Once a marriage/friendship is broken, I don't think that it can be healed. This is my personal opinion. What do you think about second chances?

See it this way In the bible GOd urges us that if some one hits you on the right side of your cheek give him the left. further on he tells us to forgive a person not once not twice but 70 time 7. Forgiving and forgetting is not easy bt I feel is that if the person does deserve a second chance then he should be alloted one because this could either help come back to his senses or drive him to insensibility.

i believe that every body has the right to have a second chance but not everyone deserves them.

Yes, I believe second chances can be given or received. Forgiveness allows for that to happen. In marriage, if you're talking about someone being unfaithful and sleeping with another person, some people may forgive their mate, but unable to go forward and work beyond it. In that situation, a second chance may not be attained. The commitment has been broken. I feel each person knows their limits or boundaries of what they can live with and work through. If you're dealing with a habitual liar, you may be able to give a second chance, but the trust has to be rebuilt if its possible. There are so many scenarios, but to me it comes down to forgiveness and personal boundaries. You need to forgive the person and then you need to figure out what your boundaries are in the situation and what you aren't willing to live with and make a decision if there is remorse or hope for things to get better or not. It amazes me how having hope in someone does actually heal situations. Hope...meaning...If you really see the person is remorseful and truly trying to make things right. Biggest thing is to realize we are all human and do make mistakes. Putting yourself in the other persons spot also gives you another perspective... to think about how you'd like to be treated.

I believe in second chance. When you lost in a game or when you didn't past an exam. And if you train to improve yourself and then you try again maybe there is second chance for you to earn success. I have many experience with second chance. When I didn't past exam to get into university I study more and in the second chance I got passed. And when I was in sport competition, first I had lost but second I win. That makes me believe in second chances.
