on mistakes in judgment: for Anthony P

  1. sorry, disagree here

    never too late
    never say never
    fuck that, that’s a James Bond movie

    second chances should be a given
    unless they are absolutely earned

    one mistake and you are out,
    that’s not even the case
    in the relatively simple game
    of baseball ….

    • I, too, believe in second chances, though this is about those times one makes a fatal mistake in judgment. My friend Anthony would understand since he is prone to making choices based on the heart without stopping to consider what the head might have to say. And using Merlin who also made one fatal error in judgment seemed appropriate to his specific situation. But yes, second chances, even third ones, are the only humane thing we can do when people make mistakes. Thank you for your good intentions.
