Can we really make up for mistakes we have made in the past?

I believe this to be a difficult one, you cannot say one is right, other is wrong. This is my opinion sorta....

• You cannot make up for mistakes, they are done and made, cant turn back time!!  You can however deal with the consecuences of your mistakes and try to live a better life, be the person you want to be(stop being the person that made those mistakes.)   For example: Say you hurt somebody or betrayed their trust. You will never be able to take the feeling the other person had away...that is impossibble. But you can make him or her trust you again, by the way you live your life at that time...

I came to think of that, saw dr Phil on tv...(Dont judge me...:P)

I would like to know your opinions about this.....
