What this world needs is change. A type of change
that only we as human beings can accomplish. The positive people who agree with
what I am saying will be sharing this blog. Then of course you will have the
negative people who will always bring down any efforts of good deeds done.
Those people will bash this blog or me.
Well here is something to think about. Do you
believe in “Second Chance”? If a person who once lived a particular lifestyle
has changed. Would you give this person a second chance in life? It can range
from any scenario; employment, a relationship, a marriage, or the parent of
your child or children? Everyone in life
makes mistakes. Who are we to judge?
Don't get me wrong. I don't think that everyone
is to be given a free pass on the crimes they have committed. I do believe in
paying your dues and hopefully reforming your life from the error of your
ways. So what happens to those people who do so? Who gives them a second chance
in life? Well, in the state of Illinois only 12% of convicted criminals are
given an employment opportunity. Unfortunately if you haven't come out of a
rejuvenated program or know someone who knows someone you won't be given a
chance. I do speak from the experience of others when I say it is
extremely unfair that the employment world still judges you for your past.
I have witnessed many people be denied employment because of a background check from decades ago. Some of these individuals served their time and continue to pay the price today. They have extreme difficulties finding employment. I just don't understand.
There are so many people who are worth giving an opportunity to provide for their families. Yet the hiring companies all discriminate when you have a background. I understand that a business owner is going to protect his business however isn't this judging & discriminating for doing so? Some businesses would prefer to give a position to someone who can barely speak English. In a few weeks time you will see them searching for a new person because that person didn't work out. Go figure.
Everyone talks about how they do not judge, nor discriminate. There are people who are judging me as I write this blog. Everybody is quick to pick out the flaws in others but when and I do mean WHEN will everyone stop the bullshit and stop judging everyone for their pasts. Whatever the case may be; everyone DESERVES a second chance at regaining their life back. Everyone makes mistakes. You learn to live with them and strive to move forward. Why can't the discriminators
?
We are the people of this world, Change is desperately needed and it needs to start with us. Perhaps one day all those who have done wrong can earn that second chance. Until then all we can do is pray and hope the best for them. Don't discriminate; Stop the hate.
Here's praying for a better tomorrow.... )0(
