Went Wrong!

If you ask me about naming something that I take seriously in my day-to-day life the answer will be "Responsibility". When I take something on my shoulder I try my best from my level to complete it as expected. We all do this, right? Sometimes it wents wrong and we are to pay the penalty.

Let's jump into the incident and talk about them.
So today I was given one responsibility to accomplish too. I didn't think it would turn into something that I had never expected. As usual, I was happy to be worthy of my uncle's trust and he had given me the responsibility. I took some documents to a person but when I reached we found out that the documents were wrong. That person asked my uncle for these particular documents but his fault was that he didn't inquire about the exact necessary documents and asked for the wrong ones. To get these documents uncle had to spend two days and now these turned out to be wrong, two days wasted and need to be done again. That person was too much terrified because he was assigned to handle this task and now he made a terrible mistake. This was an emergency task to be done, also a very important one. I was going to make a call to inform my uncle about this trouble, but he stopped me. He requested me not to inform my uncle. Instead, he would try to do something to fix it. But I was clearly seeing that there is no alternative way to get it done.

He was too much terrified and kept requesting me several times to keep it hidden from uncle and then submitted the documents as they were. He knew this would get rejected but tried to convince me so that I hid this one. I was drowned in his words, I got emotional and got convinced to help him out of this. The whole day passed and during the evening I appeared before my uncle and confessed everything with an urge to forgive him. I thought of requesting his fault to be forgiven for this time. The situation turned worse, Uncle got furious with me because it was not on me to decide whether to forgive his fault or not. I was sent in absence of him to get the work done but without completing my responsibility, I got convinced to cover up someone else's fault. He then called that person and shouted at him and made him pay the penalty by extra workload. Because he made that mistake and uncle got delayed for an important task.

That person and I, both corrupted our responsibilities. After hearing from my uncle I realized my mistake of not informing him immediately. I should have done it, I have compromised with the responsibility and that shouldn't have been done. Being drowned in emotions I made that hole in my today's responsibility. A bad impression was made before him, I didn't expect that. So whenever we take over a responsibility we must be serious about it. compromising with it may result in something unpleasant.

Ah nice,
I am also afraid of the word "Commitment". I always hesitate to make any kind of commitment to anyone.
Btw looking forward to your fear of commitment to responsibility.

Oh! What a shame! Maybe you should have told your uncle about it on time for things went worse. You'll d better next time. In my case any responsibility from any older person scares me and honestly if I can't handle it, I'll tell the person to his or her face and we move.

I got carried away by emotions. I thought of defending the mistake of that person as he was requesting on and on. Yeah, it won't be repeated next time for sure.

Thank you for your reading and feedback.😊

Maybe you made a mistake by not telling your uncle when you should have but you don't have to beat yourself up about it, you're human and as a human we're bound to feel sorry for people and want to help them (which was what you thought you were doing for the other person who requested for the wrong documents)

To me, you didn't do nothing wrong, you're just a good guy.

At the end, the most important thing is to learn from our mistakes and I believe you've done just that.

Yeah, but the fact is while being good I made a loss for uncle. If I had informed him immediately, he could have managed something else maybe. Whatever, I got a lesson that responsibilities should be taken care of with great care.

Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts too.😊

you made a mistake by not informing your uncle on time but the deed has been done and as a mortal man, we are bound to make mistakes. Just that, you have to take up your responsibility as it is next time.
