last note on this subject: i also tend to outwardly characterize positive change in others less as redemption -- a kind of vertical transition from bad to good -- and more as a lateral move, or growth, p much because that's what i would want others to do for me — PolitiTweet.org

@arkmashton no i mean -- when you're dealing with someone who has done wrong but has now changed, i think openly characterizing that shift as redemption can be somewhat counterproductive, sort of freezing them in that narrative of a justified sinner or sth — PolitiTweet.org
