Those who are once found to be bad are presumed so forever.

Those who are once found to be bad are presumed so forever.

Summary

This quote suggests that once someone is perceived or labeled as being "bad" or having negative qualities, it becomes difficult for others to see them in a different light. The presumption that one's negative actions or choices define them permanently can create unjust, long-lasting judgments, preventing individuals from being given an opportunity to change or grow. It underscores the tendency of people to hold onto negative perceptions without considering the potential for personal transformation or redemption.
