That people deserve more than just one shot. In fact, I think two isn't enough, either. And maybe not even three or four will cut it. Because we are human and we humans, well, we sometimes don't get it right. And sometimes getting right means doing something over and over to figure it out.
And that means that I believe in forgiveness. If people deserve a do-over, sometimes people are going to have to be patient. They are going to have to be giving. They are going to have to look past anger, hurt, frustration.
But really, I think a lot of times, we need to say to ourselves that we forgive ourselves for not being perfect. And then we need to go ahead and give ourselves a second, third, fourth and fifth chance. Maybe even more. I don't think I've been doing that. It's really easy to give other people forgiveness. But I think I am struggling to forgive myself. Mostly for wasting time. For not getting a job. For going to law school...sometimes...being that I don't have a job and all. Yes, I need to forgive myself because I am not perfect and get up in the morning and try again, anyway.
