Making amends....

While I am trying to make amends for not posting anything for the last 3 days... I am wondering.. (I hear many of you say, here we go again.. darn it, why does this guy have to wonder at all :P).

Amends cannot be made for all the things in life. First of all what is the point of making amends. More than pleasing anyone or to try and rectify something which went wrong, its more of a face saving thing. It is something which one does to reduce the guilt felt by oneself. Guilt can be worst punishment one can ever come across. A guiltless mind is the happiest I would say! Most of us are guilty for sooo many reasons. Be it for not remembering something or not working towards a goal or be someone which you always wanted to be. For not taking or letting others take the right decision at the right time... and so on....

So, it seems like there is no way you can be guiltless. May be by trying to make amends one could move closer to such a state... however its very very rare that one stays in this state for a long time... This is because, we seldom stop at anything. Not only trying a lot of different things without much direction, we also many a times tend to repeat the same old mistakes which we always do :) There is no escape..

Now, there is no need to give up all hopes and take sainthood... There are few possible ways one remains sane::
* One can stop being idealistic, and a perfectionist and "adjust" with things..
* One can chose to ignore all this "crap" and live without much cares and assume all is good..
* Never question and never explain..
* Accept that all these things happen and try and keep yourself going on.... whilst making amends ;)
