"The only constant is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor ..."
- Isaac Asimov
Ironic isn't it?
I use to hear my grandma say, when a person is naughty when their young..they'll grow up to be the exact opposite. How true is it, I have no idea but I do believe in what Asimov said. Change is the only constant.. so how can we easily conclude that people cannot change?
Come to think of it, it isn't fair that we all talk about someone thinking they had not changed for the better. They could have been all those negative things we said they were but that doesn't mean they still are today. At the rate we keep pointing our finger at them, critizing every thing they do, isn't that stereotyping? And we think, we're guiltless 'saints'? Besides.. what right do we have to judge?
It's hard to change someone's mind about a person and yes, it takes some proving. But, no ones needs any explaination from them but God. So why bother gossiping about them?? If you think they didn't change and doesn't even deserve a second chance to be looked upon like an equal and respected like one..then constraint your opinions to yourself where you will cause minimal damage. You have no right at all to condemn anyone here..
May I remind you that we serve a God of second chances, if you think otherwise than bring it up with Him. If not, you should really really hold your tongue. I'm not only speaking for myself but also for others. Remember that, someone can always change for the better and sometimes, it blesses the others around them as well..so stop steroetyping. Accept them for what they are as they accept you for what you are. :)
