#288 - is redemption truly possible?
Is redemption possible? Of course. People make mistakes all the time, some more serious than others, but they can make up for it if they truly want to. There are some, though, who don’t want redemption. Some who enjoy causing pain and suffering, and feel not even a tiny bit of regret or remorse. They don’t deserve redemption, nor do they want it, so it isn’t possible.
I guess some people can say they’ve redeemed themselves without it being true. I mean, how many people say they’re sorry for something when they’re really not? Personally, I don’t count that as redemption. If it isn’t sincere, then it doesn’t mean a thing. Like some people like to say, anything is possible. Does that mean it’ll happen? Maybe. Sometimes it takes a while for people to redeem themselves, either because they don’t want it at first, they don’t think they deserve it, or what they’re trying to make up for is just so great.
I think my father wants to redeem himself in my eyes, but he doesn’t know how. I wish… I wish I could tell him it doesn’t matter, that I know he did what he thought was right. But he won’t listen… sometimes, people just won’t listen.
