“Do cheaters deserve a second chance?” That was the discussion topic on radio this morning.
There were a few listeners expressed their experiences and also gave their two cents worth. Some said cheaters /everyone deserves a second chance; while some said no, we shouldn’t give them another chance to cheat.
Well, to me, depending on the scenario. Of course, it also depends on the cheater’s past records and how remorseful the person was after the wrong did. If the person is really sorry for the mistake, he or she will just have to work for the second chance. If it is really a serious, hurtful one; and with bad track record, I will not allow a second chance.
Simple rationale:
1. Why would I want to be hurt for the second time? This is man-made torment.
2. Why would I want to always looking over my shoulder to ensure there are no more lies? (Mental torture is the worst!)
3. Why would I want to constantly hear the little voice in me, reminding of the past lies?
4. Why would I want an apple which already starts to have a worm in it?

One thing I know is: "A leopard will never lose its spots"
If someone was cheated before, there will always be precautions. This person has learnt to be smarter. This is what its called Experience.
Experienced it, learn from it.
Experienced it, learn from it.
That's right. Learn from your experience but learn to forgive too. It feels good to do so. :)
