YES....... Life does gives a 2nd Chance !!

When we discussed the fruit of karma and the whole cycle repeating itself, we also need to discuss how much time do we have to repent it.
Few months ago, i read an article in a national daily which spoke of Salmaan Khan's life at length. I got to know him more as a person. I read about what mistakes did he commit in life thinking them to be the need of the hour. From a shy, modest boy next door, how he transformed to an angry young bollywood actor.
His captivation in prison due to black buck hunting or due to rash driving, killing a handful lives became irreversible stains on his life's cloak.
But today, he has become charitable at heart. Whether it be (monetarily for orphans and old aged) or it be helping new-comers to make their mark in the industry, his hands are always open. This is how probably he is compensating for all his previous Karma.
Same story is shared by actor Sanjay Dutt, who was sent to TADA for his connections with the '93 blasts, or had to suffer a lot being a drug addict.

Or lets take the famous case of Angulimaal, when he met Gautam Buddha. The former's life changed after a short meeting.

The point is to negate the old saying - 'Life only gives us a single chance'.

On the contrary, many a times life gives all of us a Second Chance, though may be in disguise.

The only needed requisite is to keep our antennas 'ON' in receptive mode.

Each individual has taken birth to do his share of work and hence lead a meaningful life. Very few of us would believe that penguins lead all their life for the sake of surviving every passing day.

The point is, we all carry some burden onto ourselves. But at times we think that certain actions are irreversible.
But more than often, life would give us needed answers to all the miseries. The only job we need to do is, receive 'the signal' meant for us, and do the unthinkable in the provided lifetime itself.

Because we still do not have a thesis on whether - Life gives a 3rd chance or not??
