We never admit our mistakes. Life is a long journey. And in this life, we do a lot of right things. And more than that we do many wrongs. Some mistakes we make unintentionally and more mistakes we make intentionally. We make so many mistakes but we never admit it. Our biggest mistake is that we blame others for it. We never admit that it is our fault due to our ego, which is our biggest enemy. We are human and it’s very normal for us to make mistakes. Because it is part of life. But we participate in the never-ending blame game.
But inadvertently, if someone mistakes, but accepts those and rectifies them, that builds a good person. In today’s time, we make a lot of mistakes but we never admit our mistakes. While we take time to think about how to blame someone else for that mistake. Today we will understand the importance of this thing through a beautiful story.
A very surprising incident- We never admit our mistakes
A very surprising incident happened in a kingdom. Every night suddenly some people used to die in that kingdom. Every morning, there will be news of the death of some people. Neither the people nor the king of that state knew how these people die. But people die every night. This kind of incident continues for a few days. Seeing all this, the king became very upset.
The king couldn’t understand how to stop this incident and save people from dying. Then one day a sage of knowledgeable virtues came to that state to achieve an accomplishment. As soon as the king know that the wise sage had come to his state, the king went to meet him. When the king met the wise sage, the sage asked the king that why are you so upset. Your face clearly shows that you are very sad and very upset from inside.
Then the king told the wise sage about the mysterious event happening in his kingdom. How some people die suddenly every night but no one knows why and how they die. Then the king requested the wise sage that if you have any solution to this problem, then you tell me. I am ready to do everything so that this untoward problem happening in my state stops. And the people of my state don’t get killed unnecessarily.
Tomorrow is the new moon night
The sage told the king a solution and said that tomorrow night is the new moon night. There is a very big well right in the middle of your kingdom. There is no water at all in that well. And that well has been dry for many years. Declare in your kingdom that every member of every household will take a bucket of milk and put it in that well tomorrow on the night of the new moon day. Everyone has to do it.
The sage said that see, if one member of every family pours a bucket of milk in that well, no one will die in your state tomorrow night. But if a single member of a family doesn’t pour milk into that well, then see tomorrow night again some people will die in your state. The king was very happy to hear such a solution. Then he sends his staff immediately and announced to the whole kingdom that tomorrow night is the new moon night. Then a member in every house of the kingdom would come and pour a bucket of milk in the well.
Humans make mistakes intentionally- We never admit our mistakes
The next day the king sitting in the palace was feeling happy thinking that all the people of his kingdom have poured milk into the well. So no one will die tonight and from tomorrow all will be well in his kingdom. Then at night, a member from every house brought a bucket of milk and after putting in that well went back to their house. But there was an old lady in that kingdom who was very stingy by nature.
She thought that when the people of the whole state are pouring milk into that well. Then if I put a bucket of water in it. Then the water will get mixed with the milk anyway and no one will even know. She took a bucket of water and went to the well and put it. Then the next day dawned, the king came to know that again some people had died in his kingdom. The king was very shocked to know this and thinking how did this happen when the wise sage had said that people will not die in his kingdom by pouring milk in the well.
All people blaming each other
The king asked the people of his kingdom who had not poured milk on that well last night. All the people replied that we all poured milk in that well. When the king started asking questions very strictly, the people started accusing each other. Then each of them started blaming others, that I have poured milk, maybe my neighbor may not have poured the milk.
Then a man was defaming another man saying that I have put milk in that well my friend may not have poured milk in the well. My friend never gives anything to anyone for free. So maybe why did he put milk in the well for free? So he may not have poured milk in that well and because of this again some people died last night in the state. then all the people of the state started blaming each other in front of the king.
We never admit our mistakes
After hearing all this, the king got very confused. Then the king decided that perhaps by going to that well and seeing, he could get the answer to his questions. When the king went to that well, he was shocked after seeing inside that well. He saw that there is only water in that well, not even a drop of milk. It means that the people of the whole state thought what the old lady thought.
Meaning that the old lady had poured water thinking that the people of the whole state are pouring milk. If she pours a bucket of water, then no one will know. Similarly, the whole state of the people thought that everyone was pouring milk, if those people are pouring a bucket of water, no one will know. Everyone thinking like this, the people of the whole state instead of milk and put a bucket of water in that well. It means we all make mistakes but we never admit our mistakes.
The biggest mistake of our life
If we make a mistake, then we always think that how to blame someone else for this. It is our biggest mistake to blame others for the same by not considering it is our fault. Always make an effort in life that there should never be some intentional mistakes. There is a big difference between making mistakes and making a mistake intentionally. Making mistakes means unknowingly we make some mistakes and when we find that, then we should rectify them.
But making mistakes intentionally means we make that mistake ourselves and blame someone else for that. And that will be the biggest mistake of our life. By doing this a person can’t be happy for a long time. Making mistakes can save us for some time but not forever. Some people make mistakes intentionally and blame someone else and consider themselves too smart for that.
But those people don’t understand that by doing this they go further away from their success. That’s why if you make mistakes then accept them and learn something from them and move on. Always be happy yourself and keep the people around you happy too. At the workplace also, we should react maturely when we make mistakes which is available in this link.
