Mistakes...

"To Err Is Human, To Forgive Divine"

We've always heard this atleast once in our lifetime.. The context described in the adage stresses on the importance of forgiving nut then I'd like to stress upon the former part.. - to err is human... tried goggling on it and found a variety of interesting results. However the mistake they concentrated on were commonly occurring slips in life.. I'd like to drag your attention to another level of mistakes.. Not the slips we make but mistakes as in mistakes that has a lot of consequences...say like a lying to someone or a mistake by which we altered some course of life dat'd have happened otherwise. Of course I'm sure almost everyone would have done either of it even if only once. Pause and think bout it. Why did yu do it?? Why did yu tell a lie even when yu knew that'd change something had the truth been said? Why did you commit a mistake even when yu knew that it'd change ur course of life?? Obviously mistakes can be categorized in two based on intention as unknown or known. Speaking of the known, i.e. the intentional ones, pause and ask yourself. Why??

Yes there was a reason. Obviously there should be a reason behind everything that we do, or no. coz there are some things we just do and den wonder y we did.. So what prompted us into doing dos?? The subconscious? or .. fate??

I believe that we are born for a reason. As such everything we do too is cos it is ordained that we would be doing so. Thinking likewise I arrived at the solution that whatever mistake we committed is, as said earlier, a part of why we are here on earth. Therefore it was the intention of the creator that we would be committing such a folly so that we may learn something from that, perhaps as a part of the training for whoever we are meant to be?? I'd like to believe so.. But as much as I want to, I also firmly believe that whatever we are tomorrow is as a result of whatever work and effort we put towards it, whatever we dream up for ourself and achieve.

The two actually support each other but, I'm talking things from another perspective. To make my point clear, suppose a case wherein you have a dream of being, say, a sportsman, a cricketer. You had it from childhood and it looked lyk yu were made for it too as yu were all over the game from ur earlier years and were quite good at it too. Over the years yu only grew good at it and it was sure that yu'd make one of the finest players time had ever seen. Somehow yu got into de practice of taking drugs. Yu knew twas not right to do so and should stay away but yu never complied. One day after having got so high that yu could barely walk, yu took a challenge and drove a bike, which however crashed into a bus. Yu survived the crash, but ur legs took serious damage that it was after a hard effort the doctors got it up n walking. Your situation at present - Your legs can never take more dan a minimum pressure, meaning, you can bid goodbye to ur cricketing career. Not jus dat, no sports, no physically exhausting activity. You kiss ur former dream goodbye, spend some long tym over it. But then, life has to go on.. You work towards nothing in particular, doing what u're told or what yu feel lyk, simply cos dat was de first thing in mind or wat others were doing. But somehow yu excelled in watever yu did and life began showing yu another aim, or rather yu found another aim to base urself. Some years later you're a writer. Hailed by many as a blessed writer yu address a variety of issues thorough your book and look forward to an glorious life in it. Now my question. What did life or fate have in store for yu? Was it meant to be that yu'd become a writer or did it change when yu went thru ur post accident life? Of course I'd like to believe that it was a culmination of choices that led to dis but is it also that fate had it in store all the while? If so do the mistakes committed become justified by saying that since we were meant for another path something was meant to go wrong which'd den give some quality lesson thus preparing us further into de life we were originally meant for?

P.S I believe I have utterly destroyed my point and complicated things, but i do sincerely hope the basic message was understood...

The answers we get, do we have questions??

I seem to have trouble wrtting a title for this entry.. Yet i keep it as what it is now, just maybe so it may atleast skim the surface.. What i actually intented to bring out is how we, sometimes (and some ppl everytime) find answers to certain solutions esecially when there exists no question. Confusing eh? How can there be an answer, when there already is a solution? Now reading the line fully, how can there be an answer or a solution especially when there is no question at all in the first place??

I once read of a story wherein a professor comes into his new class, a graduate class, and immediatly on reaching wrote down a certain few digits on the blackboard. All of them stared at it for a moment and suddenly as if struck by a bolt of lightening, the nerdy ones, remembering that the professor took mathematics started to analyse the particular number to understand its significane, features, properties if any etc. Slowly the whole class followed suit. Finally not getting any immediate conclusion as to any particular property of the aforesaid number worth mentioning, someone asked the professor, " Sir, we dont find any significane to the number yu wrote. Can yu please tell us what it is." Answered the professor - " That number has no significance, except that its my phone number." Thence asked the professor, " Why do yu go in search for answers, when there is no question at all?? The first step to anything is pose the question. And if you dont get the question do not go for the answer, for they may all be very far from the truth."

This applies everywhere and to every aspect of our life. It is rather common and most of us everyday do this. We try to find answers to questions that dont even exist. Maybe it may be that a certain event has occured. A normal occurance of somethin quite natural, which had it not occured today may have occured toorrow or may sometimes never even occur at all. The main thing is under normal conditions we may not even notice that it occured. But it so happened that once when it did occur we noticed it. Somehow having heard of its occurance from a biased source or maybe through a crafty side of our head we do take notice. And normally which would have looked pretty normal starts to llok particularily weird. Now that is were the all powerful and ingenious gifts we have, our imagination, our thinking, start their rather ingenious workings. Here the number on the board is the event. Now we start pondering.
  • Maybe it might have happened because a rocket fell on it..
  • Or no maybe it did happen because my best friend betrayed me and did it..
  • No no.. never possible.. It happened because of the earths gravity pull which suddenly shifted causing the tree to fall over it and ultimately its leaves which let out a certain sap moulded over it.

Now whatever the event be we start thinking and in less than ten seconds we would have found certain assumptions, in under a minute the probable reasons has increased tenfolds and alsThe reasono has certain proofs to back it up. Old forgotten stuff suddenly props up in the mind as a proof as the stage setter for the event and connecting a lot of those old stuff we suddenly have a very strong and evident reason as to why it took place which, however might be miles away from the actual reason.

The reason why i'm blurting out all this is, it is a phenomenon that happens to all humans, or perhaps the ones who think they can think, the ones who plays the detective, or the perfectly normal but the i do care ones. I dunno wat category i would fall into; guess there are many other categories as well, but thing is while i normally do have them in a very normal and not so big ways a few days ago i had a bad one. I heard somethin or rather a certain conversation that went between them. Mind yu, i wasnt evesdropping, the conversationalist only told me a while later. But since I hadn't known it, (I don understand what i'd have understood had i been known it), i began to think possible answers for that particular conversation. I went so far as to link them up and went deep into the past to get a few connections too.. Ooo and i did get myself a pretty good reason as to why they had that conversation. Only prob is there wasnt a question der. It was a perfectly normal conversation. But to quench my thirst for answers i found a multitude of answers and finally merged into one. They talked because :
  • they were plotting against me
  • they shared a very big secret
  • they had a secret affair
So summed up, they, who had a secret afair, were plotting against me from a very big secret, or maybe it can also be through that secret. who knows rite? :p

This just takes a few minutes of calm n unbiased positive look from the exterior to understand that there was no missiles being manufactured in der. Things like des, when ppl tend to find answers without a question is when the path of life takes a bad turn. And unsurprisingly, this is quite a truth behind many problems yu see and undergo everyday. So, though i don think i have made my point out fully, never jump to absurd conclusions without posing the question. Well as an afterthought, even after yu pose the question don jump to absurd conclusions....

Technicaly speaking this isnt my last day of college, cos we still got a month of exams coming up and somethin called project submission and stuff comin too...

It isnt easy to walk in and tell ur friends, okie fellas we're meetin in d same class for d last day.. after dis we're never gonna sit like dis.. Yeah i guess you do understand it... Everything that has a start has an end too... But somethin that's gonna end when u'd jus found a new fun in it despite being at it for 4 yrs aint easy...Nor is it at d moment its turnin into reality.. Now don ask me why am sayin all dis...
