Ask no questions, and you will be told no lies.

Was just browsing around, randomly reading blogs as usual when I came across this quote:



When you truly care for someone, you don't look for faults, you don't look for answers, you don't look for mistakes.

Instead, you fight the mistakes, you accept the faults, and you overlook the excuses.


No offense to the person who put this quote up on her blog, but I violently disagree with it!

The above statement makes perfect sense if you just read it casually, BUT it reeks of impracticality if you try to apply it to real life. In fact, it's kinda contradictory if you think about it.

Ok, well, maybe it's just me. I'm so far from sainthood that i've given up trying altogether. Or maybe i'm just a horrid person who can't be bothered with idealistic and inapplicable quotations..though more likely, I just enjoy poking holes into things and bulldozing my way through life.

Whatever.


Can someone please explain to me, how exactly do you fight a mistake?


Mistake - noun
An error in action, calculation, opinion, or judgment caused by poor reasoning, carelessness, insufficient knowledge, etc.


In my book, a mistake is a wrong that has already occurred. How do you fight the past?? In my opinion, you can only prevent a person from making a mistake if you DO NOT not accept excuses. Besides, if you can label it as a “mistake” you probably already found some fault with that person and are nowhere near “accept[ing] the fault”.


Excuse – noun
A pretext or subterfuge


An excuse is not a valid reason and hence should not be accepted or overlooked. If you are willing to accept excuses, then you are also opening yourself up to white lies, half-truths and a lot of pain.

Excuses also tend to herald the beginning of a lot of mistakes since both parties couldn’t be bothered to get to the truth but just be content with the semblance of truth. And when that happens, you have, but no choice but to accept the faults.

And lastly, who the hell does not look for answers?!
If he cheats on you, you don’t want an answer issit? If he does something wrong, no need to explain why issit?

Absolute rubbish!

The only thing that I agree with is that you should not find fault in your partner. But even then, we can't accept their faults just like that, can we?

I can't. Not without trying first. Can you?
