Everyone makes them. No person can honestly say that they aren't guilty of them.
But what exactly are they??
In almost every scenario, a mistake is a shape shifter if anything else. Initially, a mistake is deemed an omen. This is to say that, upon a mistakes first exposure, or once one reaps the consequences of one, (depending on the situation) the said mistake is looked at as the worst thing that could possibly happen. Once this revelation occurs, the brain begins to process the theory that the worst thing that could possibly happen, happened, and the "OMG MY LIFE IS SO OVER!!" thoughts begin to crawl out of the woodworks. After these events transpire, and all consequences have been given, the "mistake" begins to evolve. All of a sudden, the mind has an epiphany. The key ingredient to any truly honest mistake is ignorance, and behind all ignorance lies innocence. This means that the main incentive, or driving force for one to make a mistake is the fact of not knowing. Not knowing that by executing a certain task, (whatever that task may be) one could possibly be hurting another. Then the "mistake" completes its final level of evolution. One realizes that they can not do what they did any more, for the sake of the never ending process of becoming a better person. This "mistake" emerges as a valuable lesson learned, taught only by time. I made several mistakes 1st semester. I just hope to learn from them, and strive towards the goal.... =)...aw yea...

ReplyDeleteCan I call you Mr. Philosphical from now on? I'm stuck on the mistake as shape-shifter analogy, and I feel like most things in life are shape-shifters, depending on the context, mood, etc . .
ReplyDeleteThat was very intelligent!

ReplyDeletelol..thanks guys...and julie i would much rather be called eli...lol..but thanks
ReplyDeleteWow man, I really like this post. This is an intelligent way of looking at a mistake. I mean, for me, I always seem to get caught up on the originial, negative feelings that come from making a mistake and end up completely oblivious to the end result and how that shapes who we are. Coming to the realization that, despite initial thoughts, mistakes are a blessing can create a security in learning more and living life, and not staying repressed and settling for knowing only what is given.
