Ever heard of someone saying "honour your mistakes?"
I haven't. Taking it at face value, it sounds like an offer to a road to destruction.
But the first time i heard it, it made complete sense.
Mistakes, the very concept of mistakes is the aftermath of something that went wrong.
Like a warning sign. A car alarm, water sprinkler so on.
Most people would see their mistake, ignore it, and they will eventually have to deal with it later on.
-like ignoring the car alarm of your car.
Some would fear it so much, they back off when they are at risk of making it.
Then there are those who would acknowledge it, learn from it, honour it.
If god gave us a hurricane to tell us about global warming, then by all means we honour that hurricane, by taking it as a lesson, and cut down on our toxic emissions.
We are not who we are today, because of what we did right.

"We are not who we are today, because of what we did right."
That could not be more truthful.
Successes stroke our ego. Failure teaches us.
But of course, some people can't get their mind around that concept.
True. Everyone makes mistakes. It's like when Mr. Wayne told Batman, "You fall down so you can learn to pick yourself up."
You're right. It made complete sense to me.
Within the first read too.

And some mistakes are too addictive to repeat only once.
Btw, it's good to be back here.

i fortunately (or unfortunately...) graduated from the school of hard knocks.
while i dont enjoy any of the learnings & do strongly feel i could have learnt them some other better way... i do not deny learning from past experiences.
i like mine mis-shaken. not stirred.
