Experience is not less, but mistakes are made in recognizing people, My Actifit Report Card: June 18 2026

Assalamu Alaikum. I hope everyone is well and healthy. I am also well by the grace of Allah. Today I want to share a feeling that is very close to my heart with you.

As we walk through the path of life, we get to know many people. Some come for a very short time, while others remain a part of our lives for a long time. Over time, we gain various experiences, see people's behavior, see the ups and downs of relationships. Then it seems that it is no longer possible to make mistakes in recognizing someone. But the reality is that no matter how much experience, mistakes in recognizing people still happen.

I myself have faced many situations in my life where I thought someone was a very good person, trusted them, and freely shared my thoughts. But with time, I realized that behind the external smile and sweet words, a different person is often hidden. Then questions arise about my own judgment and intelligence. It seems that after seeing so much, why did I not understand the person properly?

However, age and experience have taught me one thing—getting to know people is never easy. Because people don't always reveal their true selves first. Many people change their masks according to the situation. So, judging someone based on words alone can lead to mistakes.

Sometimes we make mistakes because of our good intentions and simple faith. As we think, others may also be like us—this idea creates a lot of expectations. But in reality, not everyone is the same. Some value trust, while others use that trust for their own benefit.

However, making mistakes in knowing people does not mean accepting defeat in life. Rather, every mistake teaches us something new. Every deception makes us more aware. Every disappointment makes us understand who is truly ours, and who is only there when needed.

Today, I believe that making mistakes in knowing people is a part of life. Because we are human, and human judgment is not always 100% perfect. Still, we should not lose faith in relationships. Learning from mistakes and moving forward is the greatest strength.

Thank you all for reading my feelings. I would also like to know your life experiences. Because there is a new lesson hidden within every human story.
