Hello friends,
we all know, no one is perfect. Mistakes does happen in everyone's life. But one's greatness lies in not repeating the mistake again. As some one said "committing mistake is not a mistake , but learning nothing from the mistake is a mistake". Mistakes are like single page of life but relation is a complete book. so why spoil the whole book because of single page. There are some best of friends whose friendship got spoiled because of a simple mistake. They become enemies for the whole life. similar with siblings and partners. friends what do you think? please share your views.

Hi friend, you are right. A person who don't do any mistake will never do anything in his life. To err is human and every one is doing mistakes in their life. We must learn a lot of things from our mistakes, i.e rectifying faults will teach a lot of things and we gain experience with it. So there is nothing wrong in doing mistakes and we must learn our lesson from our mistakes

yes a person who don't do any mistake will never do anything in life. And he/she also never learn anything new. On contrary some people just curse themselves for doing a mistake and never learn anything. Just they cry and feel bad for sometime, and leave it.But never try to learn something new from it.

yes of course, we should have that common sense, but few people never ever do that.

yes, prashu. the world itself is not perfect. God himself is not perfect. he makes one child rich and another child poor.
people are also subjective. we like our own people. we do not like those who oppose our views.
I had a person with whom i was very close for over 20+ years and within one minute over a simple matter difference the relationship broke and now nearly 7 years are over. that is history. same thing in the case of husband and wife relationship also --where a deviation which another partner cannot agree will result in disaster of marriage.
among college friends it happens quite often--groups are formed --sub groups are formed and differences come. this has been in existence for all times and things go on. we have to tolerate , adjust and move about.

hi ravisivan people change I guess thinking about my childhood best friend who looked me up from my sons account on facebook and at first she sent me short
but touching little snapshots of my hometowhn and the people I grew up with some are till alive. then when I accidentally divulged that I v ote Democrat and she evidently is furious with me,. why ? we are friends we are Americans why should what party I belong to upset her so? should not friends overlook those things
and keep our friendship at 85 we should be glad to be alive and want to talk\on the email about our families not be angry because of who I vote for. this to me is silly.I hate the whole thing of our split in this country one half democrats one half republicans and neither one even try ing to be frinds with the others at all.

hatley aunty
all the politicians are from same base or thinking or ideology only. there is only marginal difference between two parties.
we have a right to vote the party of our choice and none shall exercise influence on us. friendship is different from voting in elections.

God himself is not perfect. well this is the first time i saw some one saying that. Its not that no body doesn't know about it, but they disagree , to accept. I appreciate it.
yes we don't like those who oppose our views.Even though ,when we know that we are not always right. And one always cant be right . That's human nature.But we don't accept it.
When differences arise in the friendship, even though its minute one, it destroys the strong and best friendship and the people may not forgive each other for years.They forget the friendship of so many years, all this because of the minute one which cause the disaster. Even though we realize it after that, we cant go further to the person.
Different interests among friends also play a role. people just should try to respect each other inspite of the differences ,but this happens only in few cases.

Well, I think your question is very "centered". It is always been said that "to err is human." I know perfectly well that all of us after we made ??a mistake, maybe we mourn over, but life, in the end, is an eternal school.
What is wrong? Simple! The next time you come across a similar occasion, we have a duty to act differently so as to avoid falling again.
For this, "need" the errors, and in life, perhaps unconsciously, we will commit every day.

yes, we learn from every single step, in life, and we should learn to value it. many errors happen unconsciously, but we understand the when we come to conscious , everything will be over by that time. But never loose hope. That's life. we learn something new everyday, if we allow our self to see that.

Mistakes are very common in every ones life and we can find them each of the times but finding the same mistakes in ones life is rare and this is we call as the big mistake. The thing we have to do is learn lessons from the mistakes from what we do. We we commit a mistake have a mind to tell sorry to the one who is hurted by our mistake and we must make sure that we always have a lesson with it and along with it we have to make sure that we don't repeat it again.

yes friend, some even say sorry , but we cant feel they are really feeling sorry from inside, they just say it , but they actually don't have the realization.

Agree with you. Mistakes is made for us to learn the lesson from those mistakes. Mistakes spoiled friendship is probably a hard thing to fix. But both of them who did the mistakes, do not care whoever did the mistake first, probably from the mistake on spoiling friendship, it's a way for us to learn to forgive and forget about their mistakes. Mistake should always be remember in our life, so we will not repeat it and will be able to keep remind us on how we are suppose to face this particular problem with which kind of thinking. No matter who did wrong first, we should have apologize to each other. That is the way to learn from mistake and build up the friendship again. Mistakes made are lessons in life.

yes , mistakes are meant to learn something new, but people fail to do so, instead they just go on doing mistakes , and the result is loss in life

Thank you so much Hately.
yes we should never spoil our life because of single mistake, rather learn from it how we should act wise from next time , and move further.
Yes many friends just develop grudge over unnecessary issues ,and spoil the relation. Just a common sense is required in such matters to act.

People make mistakes very often, we cannot pressure them to be our friends even though they don't want to do so, I think let them discover the mistakes they made and then they will realize it. Nice discussion, sorry I am late commenting on this, looks like 2 months ago.

Yes, people are only human. Sometimes sensitivity, lack of good communications and misunderstandings can really cause problems. As we get older those three things don't seem to be as paramount and we overlook more of the frailties of people. I think it is harder when it happens with the ones closest to us.

Yes, this is true. And each person is an individual and does it at their own rate. Some being more sensitive than others.

Good Post , I agree with you all the way . WE should not make a single mistake determine the rest of our lives , and so true not learning from our action is the real "mistake" .
I hate to see friendship become bad because of one mistake ( I definitely experience that one) , after all the good .

Hello prashu, I think that something lovely of being mature, is that you can avoid repeating mistakes. IsnĀ“t it wonderful?
Something nice also is that you can learn to forgive, because nobody is perfect.
And you have to be cautious because to gain someone confidence may take you years, but to loose it may take you minutes. What do you think about?
Blessings prashu... dainy

yes,that's always in our hands. Forgiving nature is in fact great one. No other thing can give us the satisfaction . yes it takes much time to attain a position but just a second to fall from that.

Mistake will spoil a relationship if one doesn't accept the mistake. It's more hurting when it's the people you valued most create the pain than those you hate. Such that some ties can't be mended. It takes many times to create real happiness but only takes once to create a damaged relationship.
No one is perfect yet it's not an excuse to do the same old mistakes again and again.
Guess not all things can be considered and be given second chance.

Good line friend "Mistake will spoil a relationship if one doesn't accept the mistake" yes, many take these excuses, when they do a mistake, but that's in turn a loss for us, which we don't realize.

It sounds very reasonable, my friend. There is no such a person who never makes mistakes, but we should learn from our mistakes. SOme persons can never make progress as they never learn from their mistakes and just make the same mistake again and again. They only find excuse for the mistake. So as a normal person, we shouldn't be afraid of our mistakes , we should face them and avoid them . As to our partners or friends, we should try to forgive their mistakes , especially when they try to mix up .

I agree no one is perfect in the true sense of the word, we do mistakes and as you have said we should not repeat it; well in the recent past 2 persons far away in some other country became bitter enemy to me for some reasons best known to them, they even stop communication with me; i always considered them as my kids
