\u00a0 \u00a0Tears filled her eyes as she said, \u201cThe moment you make a mistake, everybody forgets that you did a lot, and that one day, they thanked you.\u201d In fact, she endured and did a great deal of good work that everybody was pleased with. Yet, when she made a mistake, harsh words ensued, as if others make no mistakes! Pain stopped her and made her wonder, \u201cDo mistakes annihilate all good deeds?\u201d This question has always reverberated in our ears.<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0People keep wondering why some forget all your good deeds if you make one mistake. The answer is: because of weakness or loss of love. Deep love makes people remember others\u2019 good deeds perpetually. Despite the fact that we get exceedingly sad when our dear ones make mistakes, our deep love for them makes us recall the good and kind deeds they did to us. Sometimes others behave in a certain way toward you when you make a mistake just to leave you. It is said, \u201cSome people do not leave you because you made a mistake. Rather, they have always wanted you to make it in order to leave you.\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Whoever forgets good deeds does not care about the person, but about a specific situation, which makes him misjudge things. Thus, he separates man from the impact that circumstances have on him which leads to making mistakes, which is why we should remember that humans are fallible. None of them is perfect. Hence, the real mistake is not learning from one\u2019s mistakes, for learning adds more lessons, awareness, wisdom and experience to one\u2019s character. These help him overcome the likelihood of making mistakes in the future. Bernard Shaw says, \u201cSuccess is has nothing to do with not making mistakes. It has to do with not repeating them.\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Here, another question pops into one\u2019s mind, \u201cDoes this mean that we never mention others\u2019 mistakes to them?\u201d Of course not! There is a great difference between talking to someone lovingly, clarifying his mistake or inquiring about a stance of his, and punishing him for that mistake, having forgotten and sometimes neglected his positive attributes. Thus, your words and stance become unfit to his mistakes! In like manner love makes you endure others\u2019 mistakes and help them overcome them, it is the way you correct the mistakes which others do not heed, or simply justify with adorned words. We should be patient with those people in order to educate them. Be a physician who cures the mistake, not the person who makes it.<\/span><\/h2>\n
