What is the social binding towards second chances?

Day 74



If I had a second chance, I be home now?

 Mistakes are part of a human learning process: you make a mistake and you rectify the mistake and avoid the repetition of the mistake. Every opportunity endeavored to improve from a mistake would be considered a second chance. Another interesting factor in the equation of the mistake incorporated would be the severity of the mistake. The severity of the mistake displays a silent correlation with the society.

So here is my question: What is the social binding towards second chances?

When human beings has created a mistake under the regulations of the law and have completed the tenure of punishment designed for the correction of the mistake, how does the society react? Is there a silent code of blacklisting individuals creating a mistake with severity? Even with the code of equal opportunity employers ask for questions about past punishment records? What is the opportunity of second chances for individuals committing mistakes in the past?

As a human being why do we judge another person that have committed a mistake and completed the punishment for the committed mistake? If society does not prevail the opportunity of second chances, how would the scope of second chances succeed? Isn’t social abandonment of a human being after the tenure of punishment a mistake? How can society provide a chance of improvement or second chance by committing a mistake of rejection?

“Let us not stage the scope of second chance to a path of social abandonment”
