WE CREATE DISORDER

We must rectify the errors committed by us. We should also rectify the errors committed by our ancestors, considering it as our duty. But, what should we do with the errors that are being continuously committed by many without any intentions or efforts by the most to reduce them or to rectify them?

Mistakes may be made because of the ignorance or shortsightedness. People may make mistakes because their priority is to look after their selfish interests. People even make mistakes simply because others make it. People make mistakes because making mistakes is easier and safer than not making them. What to do when making mistakes has become a social order? We ‘overlook’ a mistake because if we try to rectify it that may cause a social disorder. We keep on overlooking mistakes till the mistakes become a part and parcel of the existing social order or a new ‘disorder’, popularly known as a new social order, is established.

We may be proud of our superior intellect, but we are very timid in the matters of heart. We are not bold enough to stop committing errors. We are not prepared to face the consequences of our efforts for rectifying our errors; we doubt our abilities in this matter and our short lifespan worries us. We seek happiness, but the path we adopt for it is cemented with our fears, our worries and our shortcomings. We create disorder and try to find order in it.
