I don't think you should somebody just their past actions not their present actions either but a mix of them. Like look at how someone acted in the past and then if they were a bad person then look at them now and see if they act the same or if they seem like theyve grown and mature compared to their past but also consider their past since you cant just let a past seem meaningless but you also should not let that stop from redemption and people should stop taking literally. If someone says theyre doing something just doesnt mean theyre doing it, they could just lying, even about doing something bad, for stupid i guess. I don't really know, you should think about how someone is now, and then judge them as well instead of just assume someone is same as many big years ago
