EQUIVOCARSE

EQUIVOCARSE, verb
to make a mistake; to be wrong

Making a mistake and being wrong are two sides of the same coin, no matter how you look at it.. you can never justify... what's done is done.

It's not the mistake that truly matters. It's what you do after the mistake that defines the person you are.

You should never allow yourself to be a prisoner of your own fault. Bear everything all to yourself. Sufferering the consequences does not mean that you have to be punished to death. It's not about taking the blame. It could not take things back the way it used to. Nothing could change what has happened. Sad to say, it has never been done.

People make mistakes. It's a given fact. However, some people seem to be forgetting that a part of committing errors is forgiveness. Learning how to forgive someone no matter how bad that person has ailed you. I know it's not easy. But I suddenly realized that it is more difficult to absolve one's self as compared with forgiving other people. It's hard to accept that you were wrong. Things did not turn out the way you thought it should be. So, you're paying the price, and you have no one else to blame other than yourself. It may be something that is within the subconscious level but I guess people carry excess baggages not because they haven't forgiven the person who caused them pain. Nor it is due to failure of seeking forgiveness from someone whom they have deeply hurt. I think it's because they haven't allowed themselves to be released from this burden.

Forgiveness is important in able to move on. It does not mean that you have to forget everything. In fact, not forgetting is a good sign. It's an indication that you have completely forgiven the person. That despite the bad memories, there is no grudge held. You have accepted the fact that all the things that come about in our lives... including the bad ones are conditions that are already beyond our control. We can only do something upto a certain extent, but just like everyone else - we are human beings. Capable of committing errors. For someone who is being haunted by guilt for so long.. It's about time you let off. You will never deserve the forgiveness from other people unless you have learned to forgive yourself. Everyone deserves a second chance. Besides, I have always believed in the saying: "What goes around, comes around." Let God's divine providence speak for itself.

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry

You don't know how lovely you are I had to find you,

tell you I need you Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions

Oh lets go back to the start Running in circles,

coming up tails Heads on a silence apart

Nobody said it was easy

Oh it's such a shame for us to part

Nobody said it was easy

No one ever said that it would be this hard

Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figures

Pulling your puzzles apart Questions of science,

science and progress Do not speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me

Oh and I rush to the start Running in circles,

chasing our tails Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy

Oh it's such a shame for us to part

Nobody said it was easy

No one ever said it would be so hard

I'm going back to the start
