The past few days have brought up things I have forgotten because they haven't been affecting my life directly and when these things don't, I have a tendency to forget them.
I suppose I don't really learn from my mistakes and let them go too easily in order to focus on the future. The here and now taking precedence over the then and past.
Forgetting the lessons of the past however just leads to them being repeated and therefore the future is nothing more than a repeat of the present and I am never moving forward but rather standing still while the world is passing by.
Is Ignorance an omission of sin?
What will the world come to if good men/women stand idly by and do nothing?
If you see a robbery, what would you do? Nothing? Cry for help? Comfort the victim? Go after the thief? When does inaction make you an accomplice?
I made a mistake. I do not know how to rectify it.
In fact, I have made many mistakes by just being a bystander whilst other people have gotten hurt. Maybe it is I who is at fault for not preventing it. Maybe it is not.
Perhaps when I wield power, I should listen to people and their opinions because my actions and inactions will have more consequence then just upon me.
Reminders in an appropriate place to ensure I do not forget nor get distracted by other business. Preparation. Having more commitment.
Knowing my place and when and what is appropriate. What I can take on without letting go of the things I hold dear. Perhaps I should never have been in a position of power, in a position where I would make decisions that affect others for I know only to care for myself.
I should change. The future I might. I do hope I look back on this post, or that I remember this time and I make amends.
I know you will not forgive me if I stand still once more while the world passes by.
