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...
