Plato’s
“Apology” gave the story of Socrates and explained the role he played in
Plato’s life, one of the greatest Greek philosophers.
But the
writing wasn’t meant to apologize publicly to the people of Athens, his
hometown where the root of wisdom and Greek philosophy begot, rather, it was
based on the description of certain events that have occurred in his life
and his teacher, Socrates. But unlike Plato’s, Mohiddeen’s Apology is meant to
apologize to the all and sundry for all that had happened.
Therefore,
I, Mohiddeen, publicly apologize to everyone whom I have hurt, insulted (if
any), or criticized by words or actions with or without my knowledge. Moreover,
I have forgiven you all for wronging me –as we live together, we must have
wronged ourselves in one way or the other. As Williams Durrant quote says,
“Forget mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you’re doing
and do it.” So, we should always forgive and forget.
Well, I
am the kind of person who believes words and actions can bring impact to
today’s life in any part —be it positive or negative, change the status of how
we live in this world, or bring a new system of life. It happens all the time.
But
when I took part in considering how our actions deteriorate things instead of
taking part to ameliorate them, I quickly plucked out my mind on things that
are not meant for my participation –those things that I have nothing to
contribute in their positive aspects.
I
learned that people should speak only when their words are better than their
silence; in this case, only when words and actions can change things
positively. Because life is not permanent and happiness isn’t always free, Bob Marley’s final words “money can’t buy life” changed many people.
Despite
being an introvert and having earned testimonies from family and friends about
my introversion and staying at bay from things that I’m not familiar with, I
have, from today, withdrawn my past statements on any trending discrimination
and excessive zeal on the matter of change. I believe my phobias will be
defeated by my “Triple C and P” style, just to make my phenomena happen based
on my instincts.
I’m
sorry, I’m not coming, but I will arrive. I wish to stay behind the scene to
connect the dots —as Steve Jobs styled.
Thank
you!
