A thought provoking current issue concerns that letting a friend make a mistake is more helpful than saying something or doing directly to a friend. Some people thinks that leaving a friend to make a mistake is better for the friendship. However, in my opinion, for true friendship we should say or do something and let a friend know a mistake that he or she have done.
To begin with, a friend can reiterate his or her mistakes. As humans are imperfect, we sometimes make various mistakes. More importantly, not only the fact that we everyday make mistakes but also the fact that we can learn from mistakes is crucial. We can learn from mistakes by contemplating why it did happen to us. And if a mate made a mistake, we can trace several reasons and find solutions together. In this case, it is less likely for a mate to repeat the mistake because he or she have found some faults, or at least knows that he or she have made a mistake. But if we just do not talk about a mistake, chances for doing the same mistake would increase.
In addition, if a friend makes a mistake, we can assume that it could be the unspoken signal that a mate needs helps or advice. Some people tends not to ask a favour because of bashfulness, or just unwillingness not to reveal their weak points even to their friends. In this case a mate needs helps, and if we do not say or do about the mistake or just ignore that, a mistake could be more serious. To prevent problems, it is better to say or do something for a mate.
To encapsulate, a friend can repeat a mistake, and a mistake might be the signal that a friend needs helps. So in conclusion, I think that to say or do do something for a mistake is definitely more better than simply do nothing. |
