Yet another day in my life
Oh the pressure to write something new everyday
Ok
So today
I can write on something I am not particularly inspired about
OR
Write a collection of myriad thoughts a la busybee…which alas, I am not
Hmmmmmm
So sanjana said a very interesting thing to me this today.
I had been screaming at her all morning-so finally at 11am…(I had been at it since
She turns around and tells me…
Mom why must you always shout at me when I make a mistake?
So that made me pause-and examine her statement
With so much truth and clarity she summed up my (and presumptuously-our) response to mistakes.
What is a mistake?
Its just a different point of view…mine versus hers
It’s a thought which is not complete as she is unable to do so at that point in her life……like a half baked idea
Mistake is actually a BIG word for a small child
Why are we in this black and white world……..When we decide what’s white and black as per our standards and expect our children to follow the same
Until we set them free and allow them to decide…but by then they are a little confused to be able to decide between their own original thoughts and ours.
But when is the correct time to leave them…
These are my rambling thoughts…..hopefully you can find a thread running through it
So trying to come back to the point
Mistake is not a word that should be a part of our life
Mistake represents negativity with “mis” as a part of it
Just now I google the definition of google and this is the result:
Mistake :(noun)
- an error in action, calculation, opinion, or judgment caused by poor reasoning, carelessness, insufficient knowledge, etc
- a misunderstanding or misconception.
I rest my case
I hope I can eradicate “mistake” from my life
