Mistake is a common trait of human beings. People though may commit it because of lacking knowledge, it becomes punishable if a mistake harms others and if the people do not apologize and compensate; and it becomes a sin and punishable, if the people take it as a usual practice and/or they willingly avoid the opportunity to learn before committing the mistake. A speech or comment of any responsible person may be a reason for others to engage in sinful and punishable activities.

There are some prohibitions from the Creator for human beings in engaging inter course with some specified relatives. Though the Creator is merciful for the activities already done before the rules announced by the prophet, people can not avoid the curse of such sinful act on the ground that they were not knowledgeable about the prohibitions unless they ask and certainly permitted by whom they were taught religion and thereby became follower of the respective religions.

If anyone in conscious mind or mistakenly ask someone to engage such hated activities, those who are conscious should protest and should not provide silent consent. No one, whether he did or did not and whatever his position in the society, has the right to make a religious holy place a seat for teaching what is prohibited in that religion as there is a chance of sufferings for those who do not follow or protest the lesson on the ground that the lesson is irrational or unethical or prohibited in that religion.

Both the twos who ask to do the sinful act and who provide silent consent thereto should be punishable as long as the person who was asked to do the sinful act does not commit the sin and the protester suffers. The followers of that respective religion if truly believe in HIS existence should not be reasons for the sufferings of the protester. If it's a religious holly place and/or in front of many people, human beings can not avoid their responsibilities of the consequences of their speech, comments or silent consent thereto. If anyone opines that there is no corruption after s/he gets empowered, s/he must take the responsibilities if the corruption is not totally eradicated as such an opinion can work as an inducement for the persons who are still in corruption.

Those who render such an opinion can not avoid the responsibilities of the corruptions that are taking place during his/her tenure wherein an involver is visible back of the opinion provider in a publicized picture. Anyone can opine confidently that h/she is not engaging in any corruption but no one unless being corrupted or stupid can opine that there is no corruption during his/her tenure unless the corruption is totally eradicated from the concerned department. Not only the perfections, usefulness of any law or rule depends on its effectiveness in ensuring the activities and attitudes of the people to be as desired by the law or rules. Human beings are on the journey towards civilization in the sense that they are improving their tolerance for protecting human rights allowing freedom of expression and equal opportunities regardless of the power and position of people.

When the relationship among the people is influenced by the abuse of power or devil like deceitful tricks that hampers the human right, there are reasons to believe that there is a lacking of belief on HIM among those who abuses the power and forget that HE is knowledgeable of every mind. There is only one Creator sends prophets and provides guidelines so that human beings can be helpful, not harmful for others. All objects and people surrounding a person will be witness at resurrection in the sense that they will claim for each and every misdeeds of that person, not in the sense that they will merely express the facts as HE knows every thing.

The Creator is the most resourceful. HE needs nothing and expects nothing for HIS own as HE is all in all but HE expects that HIS creatures express gratitude by helping each other, not merely praising in HIS name. Human beings should be grateful for each other and should extend co-operations to each others simultaneously they must be able not to be emotional and not to offer unethical co-operations or favor for those from whom they even get help, as HE is the almighty WHO expects HIS creatures be right.

Human beings, who extend endeavors to protect democracy and human right in many societies on earth, should not be biased on the basis of religious identities or existence of natural resources. Followers of all religions should believe that HE exists everywhere and HE will count all the right and wrongful activities of HIS creatures regardless of the religious identities……………..

In a state of democracy with many newspapers wherein the media and the media associated people perform vital roles for establishing the right of people, wherein the editors are very busy, and wherein their assistants who feel pressure in executing the roles on behalf of their boss and frequently get instructions from the boss to be precise while reporting, once an assistant of an editor gets a query from the ministry of communication about the schedule of the editor who informed his subordinate before leaving the office that he was going to attend a seminar on "capacity building of a blind" and instructed the subordinate to communicate the message precisely if anyone ask as every one has the right to access information and delegated his smart subordinate the authority to talk and meet incase of importance, replies to the ministry accordingly as " hi! hi! meet me as hi! he is blind now".

I edit: I didn't, editor did.

The valuable time of the respected editor never can be expected be useless. Though the writer is confident of matching critical puzzle games, now falls in trouble restoring the original message that was edited by a newspaper. It is easier to match a puzzle game as no new fraction is added to, no existing fraction is thrown out from or as there is no alteration of the shape in any of the existing fractions, than to restore the significance of the original message that was sent to the newspaper and thereafter edited with insertion of new words, deduction of original words and with changes in the meaning. The editors should understand that buying a newspaper and buying food become mutually exclusive for many readers. Replacement of words, correction of spelling mistakes and changes in sentence formats and even dropping out of objectionable opinion may be common while editing, but changes in the meaning is unexpected as it becomes injurious to a sender.

Insertion of the term "most" by the editor in the original message that expresses "mistake is a common trait of human beings" produces enthusiasm as it produces the possibility of finding the editor as an exception of human beings that the editor is free from mistakes. But the enthusiasm goes to hell watching the subsequent alterations of the sense of the original message. Original message explains when a mistake becomes sin and when it should be treated as punishable and when it becomes both punishable and sin. "People though may commit it because of lacking knowledge, it becomes punishable if a mistake harms others and if the people do not apologize and compensate; and it becomes a sin and punishable, if the people take it as a usual practice and/or they willingly avoid the opportunity to learn before committing the mistake". Mistake is viewed separately as when people commit only sin, it is the only one Creator can award punishment. There is no hesitation from the part of this writer to accept the limitation in writing in english which is not his mother tongue, but there is hesitation in offering thanks to the editor when he reads: "it (mistake) becomes punishable only when the mistake harms others. If the one who committed the error does not apologize and compensate; it becomes a sin. The error becomes punishable also if the people take it as a usual practice and deliberately avoid the opportunity to learn before committing the mistake"- instead of the original message.

"A speech or comment of any responsible person may be a reason for others to engage in sinful and punishable activities"- this is inferred after experiencing the impact of a comment of the chief of a ministry. If anyone opines that there is no corruption after s/he gets empowered, s/he must take the responsibilities if the corruption is not totally eradicated as such an opinion can work as an inducement for the persons who are still in corruption. When a newspaper conveys any message, it is expected that the editor does not edit the message in such a way that the message becomes misguiding for the readers. People when assemble to protest for the disgraceful use of the holy term that is associated with the holy name of the best prophet, they should have the morale to judge themselves that they do not commit that sin for which death sentence is the punishment as per that religion.

The original message contains: "There are some prohibitions from the Creator for human beings in engaging inter course with some specified relatives. Though the Creator is merciful for the activities already done before the rules announced by the prophet, people can not avoid the curse of such sinful act on the ground that they were not knowledgeable about the prohibitions unless they ask and certainly permitted by whom they were taught religion and thereby became follower of the respective religions. ………. Not only the perfections, usefulness of any law or rule depends on its effectiveness in ensuring the activities and attitudes of the people to be as desired by the law or rules."

The message explains that the creator is merciful for the sinful activities that people did before the arrival of the prophet or before setting belief in religion. HE is merciful if human beings are in doubt regarding any rule and they do not avoid the opportunity to learn before committing the sin and/or they are misguided by the religious teachers. But what the editor writes after deducting some sentences from the original message, may work as an inducement for the readers to engage in the sinful activities. Any one may or may not do sin, but no responsible person should attempt to make a prohibited or sinful activity permissible unless he takes the responsibility of advocacy at resurrection. No religious person, if s/he believes truly should remain indifferent when someone attempts to make a mosque or/and a shrine a place of prodding sinful activities as such an attempt may adversely affect the fate of others. "No one, whether he did or did not and whatever his position in the society, has the right to make a religious holy place a seat for teaching what is prohibited in that religion as there is a chance of sufferings for those who do not follow or who protest the lesson on the ground that the lesson is irrational or unethical or prohibited in that religion." However thanks to the editor as this portion is not as difficult as that of a critical puzzle game. For the convenience of the readers, for the understanding of how things are going on, though the readers may be the readers of the news papers or may be only the editors, a story comes suitable.: "In a state of thieves where the price of ink is stable, the key decision maker takes a provision of general mercy to make the state free from the blame and he instructs the implementing bodies to communicate and implement the provision that the thieves who will return the stolen properties and will compensate and thereafter will apologize for the same will get themselves relieved. Taking the job to return stolen properties very painful, the implementing bodies communicated the message as "the thieves who will return the stolen properties and will compensate and thereafter will apologize for the same will get themselves relieved".

Setting up the caution "there are some prohibitions from the Creator for human beings in engaging inter course with some specified relatives" after deletion of some sentences by the editor produces the ground to believe that the editor expects tolerance, freedom and co-operation in this respect. But the original message pays an application for human beings not to extend unethical co-operation or favor to anyone for getting undue benefit and simultaneously not to harm others. The original message contains: "There is only one Creator sends prophets and provides guidelines so that human beings can be helpful, not harmful for others. All objects and people surrounding a person will be witness at resurrection in the sense that they will claim for each and every misdeeds of that person, not in the sense that they will merely express the facts as HE knows every thing. The Creator is the most resourceful. HE needs nothing and expects nothing for HIS own as HE is all in all but HE expects that HIS creatures express gratitude by helping each other, not merely… praising in HIS name."

The gap between what the people read and what they understand; and the gap between what they learn, though they can accept, reject or develop that they understand and what they implement, can vary from person to person but the gaps are expected to be reduced or to be bridged. The editor of The Independent (Bangladesh) must be given thanks as there is no doubt that he spends time for reading and editing letters that he receives. However the valuable time of the editor should not be a waste of time. The Creator exists everywhere Who counts all the activities of His creatures regardless of the religious identities.
