To err is human….
Good morning friends,
If you think you made a terrible mistake,
That’s filled you now with deep regret;
You can certainly avoid the heartbreak,
For God gives you time to introspect.
Don’t hold yourself in perennial spite,
A mistake can always be set right.
No one is God, nobody is perfect,
‘To err is human’ is an old refrain.
Everyone can get wiser in retrospect,
“I never err”; ah, you can’t be so vain.
It’s better to have erred when intention is right,
Than not to have done anything, being full of fright.
Treat others’ mistakes with similar stance,
Think that you could have done them too.
They too, like you, deserve a second chance,
Don’t give them the final disparaging view.
Before long, they would make amends,
And you would continue being friends.
Honest mistakes are part of life,
There is no need to make a huge fuss.
Making amends can avoid the strife,
And can even result in unexpected plus.
Great learning experiences are mistakes,
Don’t treat them as unwanted headaches.
….to forgive divine.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
