“Do well” seems to be kind of a “world theme”. Nobody atleast “wants” to make mistakes, still everybody knows that we cant learn but by making mistakes. Is there any school of thought which allows and teaches one to make mistakes? Its hightime that we get one into our circles.
Why not? No mistake is completely committed unless there is 0 percent chance of not committing it again, in a way , it is a natural process of flushing out the “mistake drags” day by day. Similary, committing a “bigger” (have to be careful here) mistake seems to be answer to getting something bigger “right” the next time around.
Carefully pursuing a mistake can lead us to know about many other mistakes without actually committing them, for eg making a “relationship misjudgement’ can tell us a lot about “habits” of a bad relationship, and atleast gives us a trailor of the mistake that we may be tempted to act in. Leaves the imagination to us, thats the beauty about making mistakes, if one sees it, it doesnt really remain one.
U , me and the world always will have a divided opinion about mistakes that we can “make” , thats why there are laws, but how to chose the mistakes which can make us? It isnt good to be emotional these days ,they say. Deciding not to go on a holiday because you thought there may be lot of work in the coming week and realising you made mistake is what i call a less “emotional” mistake, a view, there are many more practical mistakes from which its difficult to learn and grow much. Mistakes when emotional, so called “from the heart”, are worth pursuing (have to be in my view) , they can reveal to us the very meaning of making mistakes, they can tell us if such a thing called making a mistake exists afterall.
There are very few people who have made very big mistakes sometime in their life and regret the mistakes(may be my sampling is small or may be i should take out the sample points which are fictional and exist in the books), such people would always see the beauty in a mistake, the power of mistake, how it wraps us into its magnificent evil blanket and yet leaves us cold, how it makes two years look like a a decade , how it lightens one when one thinks of taking a turn, how it reminds us of the finest quality of the devil-”that it doesnt exist”. U can start anywhere , it can as simple as writing something like what i m doing right now(as i write this), the abstractness, undeveloped etc, nature of this essay can be in the eyes of few-a error in essay writing, and can be a source of thought map for me(i have to read it again). Nothing on TV? Well ur kidding, time for a mistake !! –
