Changes

.

Sometimes the world can be
so unfair, especially when it expects too much of someone. The
problem with society nowadays is that it is too dependent on the
norms that it has been used to. So when a radical change arises, it
takes a lot of work to adjust to that change.

.

It’s like
thermodynamics, more work needs to be applied on a closed adiabatic
piston to have an instantaneous change rather than to change it
infinitesimally. Of course infinitesimal changes take time. I think
society has become too acclimatized to its current norms, so just
like a piston, it is “stressed” more when there is instantaneous
change.

.

Although the theories of
thermodynamics apply to most physical objects it is therefore
justified. But then I ask, do we dare compare ourselves to something
as normal, as brainless and as externally dependent as a piston and
resist instantaneous changes so ordinarily and with so much
intensity? Shouldn’t we as thinking creatures be able to fathom the
complexities of our world and be able to buffer tirades, mistakes,
insults, memory lapses, outbursts, oversights, errors, sins and all
other forms of shortcomings that don’t come very often? Have we
become stupid beings who simply react and not think?

.

It’s just that there are
things that happen instantly, there are some things that do not have
enough time to change and just does so.

.

As a person, I think I am
entitled to a few memory lapses a few mistakes and a few
irresponsible moments, I am of course, human. Not a computer which
can compute all possible outcomes and can store every bit of memory
and recall it at a click, I am better than that, although maybe not
as efficient. And as a human who accepts her flaws, I also accept the
flaws of other people, and consequently as someone who does so, I try
not to keep grudges. I do get angry at mistakes, but when I go to bed
at night, I know that I have forgiven all mistakes that are
forgivable at such a short time or else forgive them eventually, so
that should I die, there wouldn’t be an extra weight pulling me
down into hell.

.

All things unforgiven,
turn into grudges. Grudges are fruits of un-analyzed shortcomings,
and ones that usually come from mistakes that come abruptly. The
littlest mistake ruins a person no matter how clean his record is.
One mistake, as dictated by our society, taints a person forever and
this stain is indelible and eternal.

.

You will be judged because
of an error for all eternity, by all who have borne witness to it and
by all who’ve heard of it, unless they analyze and finally realize
that you are unmistakably human and fallible. It is then that they
will forgive, not necessarily forget, but certainly the “judging”
due to that mistake would lessen substantially.

.

Maybe this world will be a
much better place if we all stopped and thought that we are all
entitled to a few mistakes before we are actually held responsible,
because most of the time, shortcomings aren’t vindictive and come
from actual lapses..
