Regretful actions - the scorn of a wounded lioness

In life, we make stupid decisions or take stupid actions spontaneously. After making actions or decisions, we regretted every much but what is done can not be undone and we have to bear the undesirable outcome and pain arising from within us.

An after act explanations by words would not repair or mitigate the damages which have been  unleashed on to other people. It would be very painful for us if we realised and  accept that we have make a mistake or an error.  A thousand apologies would not help,

Sometimes, a simple  and innocent comment or act could arouse the fury of the person receiving the words and affected by the actions.  Yes, I have committed many such faults out of an innocient or careless misinterpretation of a situation or an emotion in my life.

There are many such faults  especially making fun out of women age, their shape or weight or their personal defects would  start another " hurricane Sandy".

For example, very recently, I told my colleague that she is getting fat because of the numerous lunch and dinner we have attended and she is also developing a double chin. I was only stating a fact and it was an unintentional comment. Hell broke loose and the sky almost fell down.  Suddenly, the weather became gloomy and emotions ran high. Someone was already hurt and the response was very negative. Heavy rain will fall soon.

After some rebuttal from the complainant, I am aware that I have make a grave mistake and the lioness have been wounded  and she became revengeful.  What should I do to react to the situation?

The only thing we can do is to say sorry and receive the punishment.  We should not explain or justify our words or actions, it is a bad strategy to figbt a wounded lioness. At the heat of the moment, we should keep quiet and just let yourself to be at the  receiving end receiving the blows and rebuttal. This is also not the moment to offer a peace pipe or expect a quick reconciliation.  We have to wait for another day when the wound is heal and fully recovered and  then  offer an olive leave  to plead for acceptance of  our wrongful act.

The consequences was grave coming from an innocent act or regretful actions. Sometimes, the righteousness or the playfulness in us lead us to such regretful actions. Often in these situations, the punishmnet does not match the simple fault.

In  some incidents, we have  to be fully aware of our playful irrational moments so that it would not force us to commit  a simple error. Words can kill or heal, we have to be careful of the potential danger of our words.

I would like to sincerely apologised to all the ladies ,women or girls which have unintentionally offended.

Namaste.
