I spotted this huge eraser in a shop the other day and as per usual, my mind went philosophical.
I bought one for us. If I could, I would buy one for every newly wed couple, every family, every classroom, every team and actually, anyone and everyone!
Life Lesson 26 - We all make mistakes, that's why we have erasers!
You see, to me, this eraser is a profoundly spiritual symbol, a symbol of unconditional love; for others and for self.
If you are willing to see yourself and everyone else, as wounded but nonetheless a precious soul trying to get through life and make meaning of it, then you will truly understand the essence of love.
You will understand that everyone (including you) is acting and 'being' and trying to make sense of life according to their level of awareness, life/coping skills and experiences.
And the most beautiful factor that this huge eraser represents, is that those who truly love unconditionally, allow and accept that making mistakes is a part of life, of growth, of change and of metamorphosis! !
So please, take this eraser and know that you can use it even for BIG mistakes :) Because those who truly know how to love will love you always, forever and no matter what. And for those who abandon you, misjudge you, don't accept or understand you, gently let them go with love in your heart and peace in your soul.
Thomas Edison made over a thousand "mistakes" before he succeeded in inventing the light bulb, so don't you give up!
