+100 We could learn a lot from a reformed ex-convict. It's too bad that sometimes, society will be blinded by the past, amirite?

Is it just me or was this post inspired by Les Miserables?

it was inspired by someone's bio

Oh, well maybe the fact that I've been slightly obsessed with Les Mis lately has something to do with the fact that I was reminded of it by this post. Guess it was just me :P (It's cool that it was inspired by a bio though!)

I don't know much about Les Mis but I hear the title a lot could you tell me why this reminds you of it?

One of the main characters is a reformed ex-convict. For the majority of the book/play/movie he is portrayed as a hero, but he constantly has to stay in hiding because of his past.

Personally, I would rather be blinded by the past than blind to the future

true but this isn't every ex-convict this one is reformed

The question becomes whether or not he is truly reformed. I know it happens frequently but I still have reservations about taking a ex-com's word for it
