Mistakes & Distance !!!

I was analysing some of the happenings around me with respect to the people around me and the mistakes we do. I segregate this into four categories.

Mistake is not a mistake - Person close to you makes a mistake. It will not be felt and it does not seem to be a mistake. This will be forgiven even if it affects you directly.

Mistake goes unnoticed - Person not so close to you makes a mistake. If it does not affect you directly, then the mistake is left with the saying, “These are normal things that happen in life”.

Mistake gets noticed - Person not close to you makes a mistake and that affects you. You get a little angrier and say, “You should have avoided doing that.”

Mistake is a Mistake - When a person you hate makes a mistake which does not affect you. You say, “I know about this guy, he is capable of doing all mistakes.”

Mistake is a problem - Person you hate makes a mistake and it affects you. You know what you will say or do.

Mistakes gets suppressed when the person move towards your inner circle.

What do you say ?
