The world cancels. God restores. Try to be more like the second one.

Two responses to failure exist side by side. One writes people off, quickly and publicly, and treats a mistake as a final verdict on who somebody is. The other assumes repair is possible and puts in the slow work of it, which is much less satisfying and much rarer. You will be asked to choose between them regularly.

When someone in your circle fails visibly, be the one who stays in contact. Say something directly to them rather than about them. Restoration is unglamorous, mostly consisting of ordinary messages and continued presence.
