Mistakes, blunders, errors,...


'To err is human, to forgive is divine'; an often repeated quote but how many times have we actually forgiven a person completely? Synonyms for 'mistake' might run into pages as does the list of mistakes we make. Its only when you make a mistake rather a blunder that you realise all those sayings and quotations about forgiveness and mistakes were nothing but bullshit and absolute nonsense. Noone in this world is waiting for you to make a mistake( exceptions to this do exist) and at the same time in today's world neither is anyone waiting hands on to forgive your mistakes.
At such times the only familiar and recognizable faces around you are the ones of your near and dear ones; to be precise your family. It is only your family who stand by you in the time of need and inspite of the biggest mistakes and blunders forgive you and accept you the way you are.
Life is full of choices and the way we live our life is determined by the choices we make. A person might choose to live in isolation and still remain happy. As another saying goes 'never search for happiness in others which will make you feel alone, search it in yourself and you will feel happy even when you are left alone'. As a personal opinion I feel the best option is to isolate yourself once in a while to touch base with your true self rather than be someone you are not only to survive in society; atleast you don't end up losing yourself in the intricacies and complexities of life which only seem to snatch away your peace of mind. Once you start losing yourself in the complexness of life, starts the game of trying to save yourself from making mistakes and then actually doing the very same things you didn't wanna do but do them coz of wrong choices. There starts your very own list of mistakes, blunders, errors, etc.
Many make honest attempts to rectify their mistakes but not before they are tortured to the limit by continuously being reminded about their past. Time to change all that...but old habits die hard....
