We Lost =(

Once an opportunity is presented, it will be there for everyone! If you missed it, sorry it will not present itself again in such a short time. Some athletes worked so hard with years of sufferings and pain-enduring trainings just for that ONE event which barely lasts a minute! Nevertheless, things don't always go our way but is it wrong to condemn ourselves if we do not reach out for that presented opportunity? Will that be our own fault?

Some people waste a lifetime waiting for one opportunity while some waste their presented chances time and time again! So how do we justify the fairness of this given opportunities? Is it within our grasp? Can we create our chances through hard work? Or will it eventually appear? Opportunities are just bonuses meant to be taken, some might agree but the fact of the matter is, do we deserve our chances? Does an athlete deserves to lose given the amount of blood, sweat and tears he/she sacrificed? Not in a year but many years.

If you had one shot, one opportunity, will you capture it or let it slip away? I felt that I was too ignorant that it slipped away a little , not forgetting the fact that I did not capture it solidly given the highest possibility of doing so! Which explains the lost. It's no point pointing fingers at officials because what's done, is done. It's over and there's nothing we can do to alter the results, nothing to do to justify man-made errors. "To err is human", that's the only positive fact that protects the mistakes conceded by humans. Come to think of it, who doesn't have their own "err-moments"? My question is, if your "err-time" happens to ruin the opportunity of others, where do we seek justice?

Political wars and wars of any kind portrays the exact example. Think of a single mistake by a party that would cost the opportunities of the other party. Think of a simple miscommunication that would cost destruction to another party. Think of a misfired action which would cost millions of life.
Now, again, where do we seek justice? So, mistakes are just a plain excuse to ruin the hopes of others?

Are mistakes accidental, coincidental or avoidable? In this case, I would say avoidable. Professionals avoid mistakes, not covering up mistakes another time to make up to the mistakes made previously. Why call themselves professionals if mistakes are so much that it seems inevitable?

My thoughts tell me that these people are unforgivable. Period.
