Two Simultaneously True Statements About Personal Growth and Forgiveness
Text content
These two things are simultaneously true: 1) Bad people can and do improve themselves and deserve to have the ability to do so. 2) Even if a person improves, people who they've hurt are not required to forgive them or give them another chance to be in their lives.
Overview
This is a screenshot of a dark-mode X (formerly Twitter) post from user Lekxaye (@WitchsHex). The post outlines two coexisting, seemingly conflicting truths related to accountability and interpersonal harm: first, that people who have committed harmful acts are capable of improving themselves and deserve access to resources and opportunities to do so, and second, that people who have been harmed by these individuals are under no obligation to forgive those who hurt them or allow them back into their lives, even if the harmful person has genuinely changed. An anime-style female profile picture for the original poster is visible at the top left corner of the screenshot.
