How should we perceive the 'mistakes'?

hai all...there is a post on 'mistakes' by sri sri below...

mistakes...hmmm...we all do...every day all the time...

mistakes are again only perceptions...varies from individual to individual as to which one can be classified into a mistake...something universally acceptable by all people of all societies is what is accepted as mistake...remaining all mistakes are all either perceived by individuals or groups or societies...but not universally true.

Mistakes...can occur due to 1. us 2. others 3. environment

Normally we don't accept the mistakes as ours. We either blame it on others or the environment or both. But we accept all achievements and successes as purely ours!...

Mistakes...when we perceive it to be due to us, then we experience guilty, which is not good. We have to just feel 'ok, gone is gone, i will not repeat this mistake again!' and come out of it.

When we see mistake as due to others, we get angry, which is again an unhealthy emotion.

When we perceive it due to the environment, then we feel sad and upset, which is again an unhealthy emotion.

So, instead of feeling all these unhealthy emotions, let us just forget it, accept that there are things beyond us and nothing we can do about it, and move ahead taking the necessary actions to avoid the re-occurrence. Let us come out of our culture of 'attributing blame' (in govt terms, in board of inquiries, 'attributability of blame' to be specified, so they try to find out a goat who can be axed!) and screwing up happiness, health and peace.
