For the last few years, we have had a bad experience with a place which holds a very important event, yet they are messing up instantly. Even the mess-up with the event is so sensitive that we, the people, wait eagerly throughout the whole year for this and seeing something tragic is kinda unacceptable at all, especially when you don't learn from the past mistakes.
“We are arranging this all by ourselves. If anyone has further arguments about the shortage, we invite you to host this and manage everything from next.” - statement from the responsible authority. Hearing this, I was like, “As if we pleaded with you that we need something like this here, please make this happen anyhow.
The thing is, there are challenges, we all know that, but he who undertakes the responsibility must acknowledge these challenges and be prepared, otherwise what's the need of spreading the mess that I can't manage properly.
People were furious, almost 70% of the people got mad at the arrangements and the mess-up that occurred. The remaining people were in a safe place, which is why they weren’t affected, but they, too, acknowledged the lack. But the damage was done, and a festive mood was ruined within a short span of time. Instead of asking for forgiveness, they instead make excuses and give explanations. Also, making counterarguments like the one I have given in the second paragraph. They were playing safe, very calculated moves that would fail even if things didn't go 10% according to the plans. This is ridiculous. Also, it's not like they are the ones; we don't have any escort. We do have better arrangements than these, but still we used to pick them from an emotional sentiment.
This time, we are determined that we won't be coming here next time. Why ruin our festive moods, ruin the occasion, just because some people are taking things for granted? They aren’t realising that they must go beyond and make the effort to make things close to perfect, at least have some backup plans in case of expected disturbances with bare minimum backups.
So yeah, once or twice, people shouldn’t take their mistakes for granted; they must learn from them, acknowledge the mistakes they have made or take responsibility for the messed-up situations instead of making excuses or taunting others. Especially when people are not bound to you, instead you are bound to them, and more importantly, messing up in such a sensitive occasion is beyond any explanation.
