The Flaming Shot

Famous words

“Those who say haven’t committed a mistake, haven’t done anything in life”. So true yet circumstantial. Making mistakes is good, in fact that is one automatic way of evolution. Yet it could be fatal sometimes.

It is more acidic when it affects not you but the ones around you. I have done many mistakes in life, ( who hasn’t then :P ) and learnt from a lot and didn’t from many.

I have done mistakes that could devastate me or others around me. Sometimes they successfully do the latter. I don’t exactly understand my stand on those. Should I feel guilty that some one around me was devastated / affected and I was untouched / unmoved OR should I pass the phase by saying it to myself don’t be so harsh …..it was a mistake.

I guess it always is a combination of both and that is what I do. As a human, rectification and re-building is what strikes the mind first and when the wound is fresh. But half of it is filled by your guilt and apologies and rest half ….with time.

From the time I remember I could understand the words right and wrong, and the time I could understand a punishment is for a mistake…. I have tried to be fair to other instead myself.

Being a person that I am, I would stand mute even if a stranger lynches me for a mistake I confess to have committed. Being a person I am, I would beat the hell out of the person pointing a finger at me when I am spotless. and no one is spared from that… No one.

I once almost hit my mother coz she slapped me when I knew it wasn’t my mistake.

Confession and apology however are never enough. Repentance is obsolete. Perhaps being driven by heart makes me do more mistakes. But that is what makes me ..what I am……. a stimulus to life. Reacting on life and its moments. Sometimes you can never correct your actions and can’t help repenting over and over.

And the scar will always remind you the …….. wound

In all my life, I have failed as much as I have succeeded… But I still love it. It is like a Flaming shot…. it gives you that scintillate yet leaves you with a burnt mouth….but Hey …you love it.
