Hello my wonderful, fantastic, amaaaaazing readers,
P.S- L, I'm really really sorry.
So hopefully I haven't been away for too long and you haven't given up on me. I've been busy with my first exams at the new school so I was focusing on that.
Right.
So many times we hurt people. Generally the ones we love and care about. But oh my dear readers, we ARE only human aren't we?
That's exactly what every single person says.
"I'm only human I make mistakes."
The murders. The thieves.
Hahahaha don't worry, I'm only kidding.
But in all seriousness are we really using that sentence to justify ourselves?
Earlier this week I had a falling out with my best friend. The only person in this entire world that really, truly matters to me. I recall using that sentence to justify myself but looking back now, how pathetic was that? Pretty pathetic, I'd say.
But the thing about arguments and people is that it escalates when you decide not to accept responsibility for what you've done. Yes, we are ONLY human. But what does it mean to be "human"?
According to the Free Dictionary the word "Human" means;
According to the Free Dictionary the word "Human" means;
1. Having or showing those positive aspects of nature and character regarded as distinguishing humans from other animals: an act of human kindness.
2. Subject to or indicative of the weaknesses, imperfections, and fragility associated with humans: a mistake that shows he's only human; human frailty.
If we argue that we are ONLY human for making mistakes then surely the ones we hurt are allowed to feel just as human and experience sadness, betrayal or even anger. And obviously, if we start playing the blame game- nobody is going to get anywhere. So don't. Honestly, save yourself the trouble and APOLOGIZE.
"Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility."- Saint Augustine.
Nothing is ever certain and depending on the seriousness of your actions you will be forgiven and things will get better over time. If your relationships with people are worth it, make them count. Say you're sorry. Make things right. If not all of the above, at least try. If you really give a shit SHOW THEM. Don't take a back seat and leave people wondering where they stand.
It takes a really hard fall for people to realize where they stand. Don't keep them guessing!
Until next time guys!
