Why are some of us granted second chances while others are not? Is it fair that unscrupulous individuals or criminals might receive such opportunities while decent people may not?
Some argue that second chances are offered to criminals to give them the opportunity to change and make amends. But shouldn’t good people also be afforded a second chance so that they can continue contributing positively to the world? How are the rights and wrongs weighed and evaluated in these situations, and what criteria determine who receives this privilege? Is it purely coincidental or a stroke of luck when some are granted a second chance and others are not?
By nature, we are drawn to our innate sense of justice, which can sometimes cloud our perception of reality. The matter may be far more complex than we realize, and we should be cautious before passing judgment. The workings of the universe are beyond our understanding; we may never fully grasp why certain paths are chosen for some and not for others.
I have survived war and numerous life-threatening situations, coming close to death on more occasions than I can count. To this day, I am surprised that I am still here. I don’t try to assume why I was given a second chance; seeking an answer feels futile. Instead, I choose to show my gratitude to whatever force decided in my favor by living a wholesome life and extending love and kindness as much as I can.
