YOUR MISTAKES DO NOT DEFINE YOU.
I do not blame people for making mistakes or judge based on the mistakes they made; they are human, and every human makes mistakes.
Even though some mistakes are graver than others, some people's own are worse than others'; but that does not mean they should be defined by the mistakes they made.
People make mistakes because of different reasons; being naive, overwhelmed, confused, depressed, sick, afraid, desperate, ignorant, excited, emotional, disappointed, hurt, etc.
Most of these people (who make some terrible mistakes) have really been in a seriously bad place, we should not make them feel worse.
Let us try to help them heal (if they want), let us not use every opportunity we get to rub it on their face and remind them of the bad place they were at the time.
This would only hurt them the more and could even lead them to do worse, harm themselves, etc.
Yes, let them know that they must be accountable for their actions, life happens, and the deeds have been done; but be tactful, empathetic, considerate, and sensitive.
We have all made mistakes, if you have not made any yet, it means that you have not experienced life enough...but you will, soon. It is inevitable, and mistakes make us more experienced and better.
Mistakes should not define anybody.
I hope you understand.
