    Honesty we need to be more forgiving of people’s pasts. It’s not like people before phone cameras never got drunk at parties, it just didn’t get recorded and every employer thinks their employees are especially tight laced.

      I think it’ll happen eventually, we’re just living in the unfortunate period where culture hasn’t evolved to the new environment yet.

        I struggle with the concept of forgiveness and consequences. There isn’t an objective good. Someone who reforms can repeat the same mistake. There is no single state of existence that makes someone right or wrong at any given point. Sometimes, the difference isn’t in the person but the environment. Things like the golden rule seem flawed and overly simplistic.
