"To Err is Human....
To forgive, Divine!"
We may have heard of this phrase numerous times in life, among one of the most relevant ones possible.
If you're humane enough, you are bound to make mistakes. Its after all, a human tendency to do so. While most of these mistakes are erasable or let's say, can be solved in time, we also make mistakes in time which are irreparable. They stay for life and haunt you until your final call. A sense of guilt runs across your throat each time you think of it or when something related to it, crosses your path. Its that strange feeling that also hinders your growth in life and while you maybe successful in terms of money or assets professionally, your personal subconscious mind never let's you grow within.
The above lines, every bit of them, relate more to the way humans feel for each other. It should be us, who need to introspect our own mistakes but no - we're judged by the people around us, whether we choose them or not.
At each step, right or wrong that we take, we're judged by people who are sinners too; probably sin in a different way than ours but are sinners nevertheless. So, I personally would still buy such judgements, however correct or incorrect they maybe. What cannot, or say should not be accepted within, is the way people think about you considering the mistakes you'd committed in the past.
Our minds evolve, we never stay same. What I was a year ago, No, I'm not that person anymore (barring a section of people who never change). I may have a similar face, my thought base is still relatable, but my actions change.
Time is the best healer, they say. Please don't consider people or write them off, only because they had sinned 365 days ago. Give them time, let their thoughts alter and who knows, once you know the newer side of the person, you just might start liking it and in certain cases, love.
Life feels long enough but is still short to hold a grudge within, for someone who is a new being, for someone who can be loved if given a chance. Don't build a wall so high that it becomes impossible for you to see the 10 types of goodness in someone due to 1 blunder that person may have made long ago.
This wall, once broken, will let you see things and qualities, from a different perspective. Learn to admire those beautiful qualities in a person, point out the bad ones so the person in question, may be prepared enough to work on them.
Ultimately, do not judge someone purely on the basis of a small mistake he/she made months ago. Consider the person for the beautiful qualities within, today. It would definitely show the type of person he is, but it would truly show the type of person you are.
Finally, learn to Forgive - to not make anyone feel better, but to make your soul lighter.
