We encounter different problems and different circumstances in life and it takes great amount of courage, patience, and determination to fight all the challenges that we face in life.. we deal with each circumstances in ways that we think its right however, sometimes, even if our intentions are good, we unintentionally hurt other people and we're even unaware that we've already hurt somebody.. We need other people to help us realize our mistakes so that we can be able to correct it and avoid doing it next time..

Yes. You are right. We sometimes do not realize, has hurt others. We need other people, to remind us. Many of the problems experienced in life, and to solve them, sometimes make other people were injured. What we need to do is always think calmly while to get into trouble.

..the difficult part is that, when people won't say we are wrong because sometimes, all we know is we did the right thing, and we won't know that we made a mistake unless somebody tells us.. one painful reality is, when people would make their own stories out of what we did and it would be too late for us to find out that what we actually did was wrong.. if only people could readily correct us, then we could determine how to do things right next time around..

Yeah, i had that experience too. but of course, we all have to be careful next time. some people do what is intended for good but probably it isn't that easy.

Whether it is other and ourselves, it is always best to recognize and accept that we are human and are bound to make daily mistakes.
No one should ever judge anyone who commits a mistake, but rather judging should occur on how the person corrects it.

Awwh why thank you, it is nothing I am doing outside of simply pouring out what comes directly from my heart. However I will let you know that I am seriously thinking about intensely writing in the future. God Willing.
You want to hear something funny, I went to a party last Saturday, where there was a psychic who said she saw me writing for TV. HA! I have never given that thought, but hey I went with her nice advice and well let's just say whether it comes true and or not. Comments like yours are truly rewarding.
I think it comes naturally for me my friend as I have lived a very difficult life and so when someone asks for my opinions and thoughts I can immediately relate.

If you exercise caution and behave in a way that is considerate of others, you will not have to worry about mistakes that will hurt them. Not having the intention to cause harm is not enough to prevent it.

Yes, we need others to point out our mistakes. Being in the situation, we often tend to see the mistake of others but never ourselves because we are not there to be judged. So any forms of negative comments about us, we will get defensive, protect ourself while pin pointing whatever faults we find in others instead.
While being a 3rd party, we are in a neutrel position, we don't have to protect ourself, and that's where we see things in a clearer state, at the same time learning our mistakes from there.

Yes, we are human and mistakes are with us, it is good if we recognize our mistakes and then take lesson from our mistakes. I have observed this thing that we unintentionally hurts some one but we never go to heal that person.
For recognizing a mistake, we should be our own judge, every night before going to bed we should think about this, whether in todays life, any of our act, speech did hurt some one, we should judge our self, in this way we can recognize our mistakes, no one else can do this thing for us but we our selves are best judges for our selves....
Be happy and be the reason of happiness in others life....:)

I think others need to point out our mistakes sometimes as we think because we have done it... and we can't be wrong until someone says it and it makes us think. We all think we are right at times when deep down we are still unsure but don't want to admit it. Other mistakes like spelling or putting something back wrong is easier to identify, but we don't always pay full attention to it so don't notice.

Oh, we can get so angry and mad being corrected. We create drama everywhere, but when the dust settles, we start to think. Feeling bad, we wonder why we didn't see it before now. So never feel bad for the drama you might cause, for it will lead to learning in the end. If others never step in for fear of drama, think how long we could be practicing that same old mistake. There are wonderful souls all around us willing to go through great adversity in order that we see. Be one today!!

well, that's why we have to be careful of what we say to other people. misinterpretations can happen all because the person is sensitive and not used to being frank about themselves. i have to admit sometimes i don't listen either

It can be difficult for us to see and admit our own mistakes. We can always point out the mistakes of others quite easily. Even if we don't like it, it often does take another person to show us the error of our ways. what we do with the information is then up to us. @Gargi2010 (638)
