Yes, I've been thinking a lot about this as well. I believe people deserve second chances, the opportunity to earn a form of redemption, to let the past stay in the past and be able to move forward. But with how much of our lives are being recorded in one way or another with modern technology, that gets harder and harder to do.
There's a pressure today to be the perfect human being from day 1 that I don't think have existed in the same way ever before throughout history.
