“Errors and Evolution (The Sonnet)

Elimination of error is elimination of evolution,
What's needed is correction of error not elimination.
Why you ask - because error expands perception,
While absence of error indicates absence of ascension.
Pebbles don't make mistakes, for pebbles have no life.
People make mistakes, for people are alive and kicking.
Make the error, mend the error, that is how we grow.
Don't be ashamed, don't be boastful, just keep correcting.
Those who never make mistakes, never amount to anything,
Failures are the foundation of a legend's legacy.
Let them celebrate your triumphs all they want,
You for one celebrate your mistakes and misery.
The shallow measure a person by their glorious victories.
Those with character measure a character by their tragedies.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Amantes Assemble: 100 Sonnets of Servant Sultans
