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.
