Who Needs an Eraser

We often use an eraser daily to erase pencil writings.

Everybody used erasers in schools or early drawing classes.

When I first got an eraser in my childhood days, I was so happy! Because the eraser was my best tool for erasing my mistakes.

Whoever discovered that a piece of rubber could be utilized to erase graphite pencil written pieces on paper, the world will always be thankful for his/her useful invention.

We hardly write on paper because our computers take all our intentional writing desires to write using any software application. There, we can erase whatever we wish to in the digital forms of writings and creations.

So, who needs an eraser?

The answer probably is known to all of us.

I want to bring two famous sayings by two wise humans.

German scholar Max Muller said:
"Erasers are made for those who make mistakes."

  • I can say that Max Muller's saying is warning people to do their work without mistakes which can be a challenge. And you know what happens in challenging times?

Indian monk and philosopher Swami Vivekananda said:
"Erasers are made for those who are willing to correct their mistakes."

  • I like the sayings of Swami Vivekananda because he inspired people to do work and correct their mistakes.

Many good things in life may start as a mistake.


Closing thoughts

Don't be shy of trying new things in life if you find them good and worth trying.

There will be mistakes here and there.

  • People who work may commit mistakes.

  • Those who never try to do any work will make no mistakes.

So, don't get hesitated to any doubt.

Read, learn and remove the doubts. Then, try the work with all your efforts.

=> BTW, do you know who Swami Vivekananda is?

=> If you don't, please read it here, or find it on the Internet.


Postscript

Please remember that mistakes are opportunities to learn.

  • Make use of the mistakes as learning sessions.

  • Try to relearn from the mistaken curves.

  • Take corrective measures and improve in future work.

Remember that everything can't be corrected or erased.

Cherish blunt errors as top-learning lessons of life.

We can't delete all things yet we can learn from those experiences, it leads us into progressive ways to live a better life (which means differently from each other). Eraser is like God's grace for us, the space to correct, to self evaluate and to draw or write better life arts.

I would say the capacity for correction of the human mind is a manifestation of Godliness already in humans.

Thanks for your insightful comment :)

Yeah how beautiful this grace for us then. We are free from condemnation of the spiritual realm even though men choose to do so in the natural, that's not God's love. A life in grace inspires us to change.

Ctrl+Z works too lol! No one is perfect. We learn from our mistakes until we can do things perfectly or close to it.

Yes. "Ctrl+Z" is a go-back way of correcting computer-clicked steps on an electronic file/document.

I love Vivekananda's take on erasers. People should look at mistakes as an opportunity for growth rather than a life long stain.

Pencil and eraser were one of the tools used to correct writing mistakes in our childhood. I miss those lost days.

Use a pencil and eraser; those are still available! We use it sometimes when needed.

I'm grown up now. Now you have to use a ballpoint pen to write. There is no way to correct errors here. Very few places we use eraser and pencil.

Correct - very few places. In the banks, the staff member tick park the columns with a pencil to help the customer fill out the forms. I often make corrections on a pen-written document with a pencil, such as a student's practical notebook. It makes the student happy about the errors they correct later with replacement sheets.

Everyone has past history and story, me too I wish I can erase some mistakes but I have learnt from it, though

No, not erasing anything from the past, but erasing or correcting the error-creating habit is possible.

That is very much true, mistakes occurs when you or someone do work or perform a task. It is a simple but a thoughtful article

Mistakes cannot hold someone back. But if someone does not do anything in a fear of making mistake, that can hold him back. We can learn from our mistakes and get better.

We use an eraser in Microsoft paint too so where ever there are mistakes an eraser is there to help us correct them hence I agree with Swami Vivekananda's statement more.

We all would definitely need an eraser at one point or the other since we all are bound to make mistakes... In a lighter note, I remember when I was a little kid, I would chew away my eraser aeven before I started using a pencil. Mother became really frustrated 😆

I like to frame my mistakes and hang them on the wall as trophies.
They are proof I tried.
They are proof I do not hide my mistakes.
They are proof I do not hide from my own humanity.
They prove things that I have learned.
They are the litmus test which, on display, reveal who are true friends.

I need a eraser because I'm just a human, and probably we need eraser because we can't avoid of having a mistake and become a perfect person.
