errors

So there’s this guy who to my own personal opinion I think he's insane but amusing at the same time. He’s called Joseph and he works just next to our block.

He knows just everyone on the block, when people loose their father’s uncle’s girlfriend’s step mother’s friend, the dude has to attend their burial like it or not. And he has this thing of relating with people’s experiences.

So Joseph wakes up in the morning and comes to work, he has one daughter and a wife nobody has ever seen, he’s ok in looks and tall, early 30’s. He's very argumentative and in most cases he's ever arguing out of ignorance, but sometimes work is so damn boring and the only solution is to argue with Joseph.

There’s a time we had an argument about river Nile flowing to the south not the north, now trying to convince an insane person to accept an insane thing is itself insane, I just had to let him win.

He’s both amusing and annoying. He greets everyone in the morning with a simple “Asalamu aleiku and to the non-Muslims how do you do?” And leaves just like that.

So one day I was making a receipt for a customer and I made an error, so I had to cancel it and make a new one, but Joseph was like everyone makes errors even the white man made an error calling muwogo(cassava in luganda) cassava and enyama meat, instead of calling enyama cassava because its got masavu(fats) and meat muwogo because it's meat emitti which are like trees.

He went on to say that the whole world is based and built on errors. And for once Joseph was right. Everything is an error.

I figured that sometimes when you know something is an error, you have to make it anyway. Try the first kiss, it's never right.

So your figure something is an error and you accept that yes it’s an error,

You know it’s an error, but there are things in life where you know it’s an error, but you don’t really know it’s an error. Ok lets go back that moment when you are about to loose your virginity.

So you are about to loose it but you know it’s a wrong but then you can’t rule out the fact that’s it wrong unless it’s done....Because the only way to find out is by making the error.
And at the end when its done you look back and say, “Yep”, that was an error.
Now if we apply some physics, the real error would be not having made the error, because you’ll go your whole life not really knowing if something was an error or not. Why do nuns regret living in the monastery when they see what's in the real world?

People’s lives, relationships, careers, are all based on past errors, am not so sure of the others but relationships are based on errors, If you did something in the past one I don’t think you’ll repeat whatever you did.(NB:virginity is a chemical change)

Young man, Joseph's company is clearly having a detrimental effect on you! :0)

I would rather look at everything in my life as based on errors I corrected.
