Can your mistake define you?

Mistakes

One simple question, but the answer is complicated. CAN YOUR MISTAKES DEFINE YOU? Theoretically, a mistake is an action or judgement which is misguided or wrong. But is it really that simple? Can one get away with a mistake without getting accused of doing it? In reality, yes, some people get away with it. Mistakes can be a lot more serious than the word sound. Often people use this word ignorantly, without actually understanding the true meaning of it.



    
Haven done many mistakes myself I know what it feels to be called guilty or being accused of the actions you too regret. Mistakes sure can define you. If person commits a mistake even after him/her being told not do it defines that it is in that person’s nature to do such things. If a person commits a mistake unknowingly he/she is defined as a fool or ignorant. But there is huge difference between being a fool and being an ignorant person. A fool is expected to stumble upon mistakes in his life as he has no idea of what is wrong or can’t sense it. But an ignorant person is worse than a fool because he knows what he is going into but still doesn’t pay any heed to it and commits that mistake. Generally this ignorant persons enjoy doing such things which are socially not acceptable or just don’t care about anyone else and not even of themselves. Whatever the case may be, a mistake is a mistake and it cannot be undone or changed.
But we should understand that doing a wrong action under a pressure of any kind or due the situation is a debatable topic to whether take it as a mistake or something else. For an example, if a person, under the influence of someone else, goes and does something wrong, than it is less of the person’s mistake and more of the influencer’s mistake in such case. And it is still questioned whether such mistakes define you or creates an emotion of sympathy towards the person rather than anger.
Some mistakes destroy lives and those mistakes are unapologetic and the person who does such devastating actions do not deserve any sort of penalty in life. Their only penance is suffering. Therefore we have to understand that a mistake of any sort and means is or are irreversible as it can be catastrophic to someone. We should prevent going to wrong lanes of life and doing such actions that hurt another person.
To the question we asked in the beginning of this blog – Can a mistake define you? the answer is yes it can. It can either define you as an ignorant person, who doesn’t care about the well beings of anybody or it can define you as a fool who doesn’t know what is wrong or right. But if the mistake was done under any influence, then it creates a dual image of that person who does it. Firstly, the person is seen with the eyes of disappointment and secondly, the person is judged as a person who can be influenced easily. There are always exceptions in every cases and theories in life and so does this blog of mine.
No one can go back and make a new beginning but can definitely start over and make a new ending.  It simply implies that even you have made a mistake or took a wrong turn in your life its never too late to take a pause realize and go back again. But what matters is that you have to be honest to yourself as well as the others and then only you will be seen as a person who is willing to change. And change in a manner that is apologetic and effective. Your mistakes sure do get stuck with your name forever but can be forgotten if your deeds tell another story all together. You have to mean it with your heart and soul that you regret your decisions in desperate times and that you feel sorry for yourself.  Honesty and integrity are the two prevention measures that ensures that mistakes are at bay and no wrong deed should occur, it is when people switch off there prevention measures a mistake takes place.

THE REAL ME!!?

WHO AM I? A few days earlier, I was asked whether I am the same person in reality as I portray myself in front of others or I am different when no one is looking? Honestly I would not say that I am exactly the same in front of others as I am in reality, but to some extent my nature is similar in front of others as well as in person. Saying that, I should ask you to listen to me first before judging me on this point. I believe that nature should be handled properly. But first, lets understand what makes or defines our nature. Our nature is made or effected by how we our brought up, our surroundings and also by peers we keep around. And how we behave should be governed by the situation. For example, having a sarcastic behaviour or attitude in a situation which is sorrowful can be harmful. So here, I question whether being oneself in every situation is a good idea or not? Being same in every scenarios, does it really pays off or not? Should we be different in front of others or a g...

The Real Question.....

Is it enough already? What is the one question which we all need to ask once to our self and that is –When is it enough? When is it enough for us? Enough is when we have the sufficient amount to live our life peacefully. But for most of us just having enough isn’t enough. People works hard, putting their soul and heart, just to manage to get enough for them. But in the struggle of getting what one needs, one forgets when to stop. One after another, constantly wanting things, desiring needs, which are not necessary but seem so important for a moment. People are grabbing things like a drowning man to a slab of wood, hastily and without any thinking. This constant need of things after things makes the man greedy and ultimately leads to regretful ending. Now-a-days, our lives revolve around this constant desire. And it is never ending. Once we get something, the satisfaction of getting it makes us to get more of it and yet more and more. We don’t realise when we should...

What causes us to drift away from the real us?

Social erosion Unlike soil erosion, which is removal of the fertile layer of soil due to external factors, social erosion is removal of the good and happiness inside us due to the outside factors. The little part inside us which keeps us motivated for being happy and carefree about the outside world dies slowly when someone around acts like pollutant by being a complete demotivational. Telling things which you often don't realise but when you do you can't stop thinking about it. The most outrageous fact is that when any such thing happens then one starts questioning its own existence and becomes a part of the dull world of unfaithfulness, disturbance and grief. The self is strong enough to handle one or two such person but when the intensity rises, it cause erosion effect within us and leaves us bare. Such people who caused this unwanted situations are the main cause for social erosion.  Social erosion, is according to me, when you loose a part of yourself and turn dark....
