WHEN WE ARE WRONG

When I’m wrong…

When I’m wrong I try to hide.
When I’m wrong I try to make excuses.
When I’m wrong I want others to understand.
When I’m wrong I get pissed that people easily forget all the times I wasn’t.
When I’m wrong I’m frustrated thinking that I have the wrong people around me because they don’t seem to understand.
When I’m wrong I always want to justify my actions.

When you are wrong…

When you are wrong I want to tell it to your face and make sure you can’t hide from it.
When you are wrong I tell you to stop trying to make excuses and just accept your wrong.
When you are wrong I don’t think you deserve that understanding, after all you’re wrong.
When you are wrong I find it funny that you get pissed. You are the one wrong here!
When you are wrong I try to make you feel more frustrated.
When you are wrong I see you as being too defensive and you should probably stop trying to defend yourself.

Being wrong is one thing that we as humans hate to admit to. But then, depending on who is wrong, the narrative changes. When we are the ones wrong, we seek for forgiveness but when it’s the next person, we think they don’t deserve that forgiveness. I can’t even say how much I like the passage of the Bible that says “do unto others what you want them to do to you”. It’s as simple as that. People make mistakes and most times we go too extreme trying to make them see where they have fallen while other times we forgive them even without making them understand what wrong they have done.

As humans, we don’t have each other for no reason. We all have a role to play towards one another. When I’m wrong, it’s fine that I should be corrected and advised whether or not it hurts. I might be scolded in a stern way but that’s even to show me how much that person cares for me. It even becomes scary these days when deep down I know I did something wrong and everyone around applauds me for doing that. Over time I have learnt to appreciate corrections better. And also, it’s totally good that I do that also to others if truly I love or care for them.

Trying to cover up my mistakes just because you don’t want me to be mad at you doesn’t mean you love me. Most times it’s even the other way around. If you love me, when you see me walking into danger, you will call me back and not encourage me to keep going. It’s fine to get things wrong. But it’s not fine when you don’t have anyone around you to be bold enough to tell you that you are wrong and it’s also not fine when you can’t tell others when they are wrong just because you want to gain favors from them or you don’t want them to stop being friends with you.

I make mistakes and in as much as I won’t want to be wrong, whenever you see me doing things the wrong way, please always tell me. Whenever you see being an hypocrite, draw my attention to it. Sometimes it’s hard to do what we say but with the right person around us, we can do the right things.

Thank you for reading through. ❤️
