What separate the gods from us (mere humans) are their perfection and our ability to make mistake. Human as we are, we often make mistakes than do things right. Remember how we fell and stumbled just to learn how to stand up and walk. Life is pretty much like that- we will not be the person who we are now if it were not because of the mistakes we have gone through and the lessons we learned from them.
The biggest mistake I have done yet in my life was when I ran away from home. It happened when I was still in high school. My mother and I had a serious feud when she caught me drinking with my high school peers. Since one of my friends offered me to stay in his house, I decided not to go home. I stayed in my friend’s house for days until I realized that I could not live in my own and finally made my mind to go home. I was scolded of course but eventually all of it subdued. I have learned a lot from that experience. I learned that even how strict my parents are, in the end they will still be the parents I will come home to; the people who could still accept me despite of my mistakes and disobedience. I learned to value their words.
Indeed our experience teaches lessons that are far more significant from those we can learn from books; lessons that will help us understand ourselves and will guide us in this bewildering world. from that experience alone, I have drained a lot of lesson.
