Have you ever met a situation where you kept on thinking, "I'm right, all evidence points that way, people support my decision.", and then at the very last minute realise that you're wrong, and you have no way about it?
It's an irony.
Recently, I was exposed to such a situation. I was presented hard evidence that what I suspected was correct. Since there was hard evidence, people inevitably thought I was correct as well. One person insisted I was wrong. At this standpoint, I was frustrated. I mean, there was evidence, right?
Then it turns out the opposition was right all along. Embarrassed much?
This taught me a valuable lesson; Never think that your case is perfect. Sometimes, proof can be wrong, people supporting are just doing it based on what they see and hear. And getting tugged about by an illusion called 'evidence' can be pretty misleading.
I had no comeback. I had to hang my head in shame.
Now, I'll also have to deal with the people who thought I was right as well. They are going to gossip about me tricking a lot of them, making them think the wrong things. Because it is human nature to blame. No one likes to admit they're wrong.
So what I want to share is. There is no such thing as a 'sure thing', or 'perfection'. Everything has a way about it, a flaw, a loophole. There is no perfect person who can be 100% about their job, no routine that is 100% efficient, no such thing as a 100% confirmation. And there is no perfect person no matter how they seem they are.
Live in our mistakes and flaws and learn. Life has a explanation for everything. But life's a bitch; it doesn't like to share.
