Second chances are sometimes hard to come by: just live right.

Hello, everyone.

I welcome you to my blog and another wonderful edition of the Hive Learners' featured post. One thing I have learned over the years is that the past will always come back to haunt you. Some people say that the past is the past, but that is a lie. The last is never the past; it will always find a way to impact or influence the future, which is why we are always advised to try our best to live right so that when the past comes knocking or tries to influence the future or present, the influence will be one that favors you and does not cause you pain and regrets.

Sadly most of the time when the past comes knocking or tries to influence the present or future, it is always bad; many of the stories I have seen or heard about someone's past life resurfacing have always ended badly for the person. A guy refused to marry a lady in my neighborhood because he heard stories she was once on the street, even though she had repented and spent most of her time in church; the past still did not fail to spoil both what she had in the present and what would have happened in the future. The past does not always go away completely; it has a habit of coming back to spoil things.

We are also familiar with the news about the co-founder of Paystack by the name of Ezra, who tweeted a lot of things about having things to do with minors and even his colleagues; he just tweeted, and I think all those tweets were before he became the co-owner of Paystack. Most of those tweets were posted between 2009 and 2013, but guess when it resurfaced: in 2025. Even he was a completely different person from who he was when the tweet was posted, but he was not even given a chance to defend himself; immediately he was fired, and the company he was a part of from scratch parted with him like it was nothing.

Ezra lost a company he built from scratch just because of a tweet. I am sure he posted even before he started building the company; he might have turned a new leaf, and his beliefs and opinions about minors and co-workers might have changed because there were no recent tweets about those kinds of things anymore, but no second chance was given. He did not even get to explain himself before he was fired and everything he owned taken in less than 2 weeks after his old tweets resurfaced.

I will always support that a second chance he given to see if people's opinion and beliefs really changed because no doubt that people change, and the only way we can see if they changed for sure is by giving them the chance to actually prove themselves but the truth is that not everyone supports the idea of giving people second chances, not everyone believes that people do change and for that reason I will always advise that we live a life where even when the past comes knocking we will not be scared of how it impact our lives because we are sure of how it will affect us because the past is never the past, it has a way of coming back to haunt us.

Yes, no matters what the past will always resurface. That's why there's a saying:Karma is a bitch. Honestly, it's good to live a good life tha living a bad life and our past making everything difficult in the future.
