    Everyone deserves their chance, but nothing says you have to best friends with them either.

    Never stop looking, but acknowledge every aspect of someone you dislike, I think. If someone has gone through a tough time, and as a result is seemingly unkind, but does, say, do charity work, I think all aspects need to be taken into account. Take every little bit of a person as it comes - if you think someone is unkind, then try to be open about why, but perhaps do not let 'difficult past experience' be an excuse for unkindness; neither should you ignore the good someone does, even if it is seemingly little. Never think you know someone completely, and never let a grudge stop you from thinking well of someone when they do something favourable. No-one is perfect, and we all deserve a chance, because there are always reasons why someone is seemingly dislikeable. That is what I think :).

    You should never give up on everyone, completely. Many many people can let you down, but if you keep an open mind and open heart, you will find that goodness exists and is alive, and that not everyone is mean and evil.

    The second you might get burned. Looking for the good in people is one thing, sticking your hand out to be bitten is another.

    Yesterday! But, if you got a good heart, you got a good heart. You might stop trying to find goodness, you still will try to do good for those who are not... It's horse ****! But, hard to get away from...

    When you realize they are closed minded and that they genuinely dislike you then that's the time you walk away for good from them. That's what I had to do with my mom. I have no regrets doing it because it was the right time to.
