Once we realize that imperfect understanding is the human condition there is no shame in being wrong, only in failing to correct our mistakes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As humans, we're going to make mistakes. It's what makes us human, and most of the time, the most effective way of learning is from a mistake.
It is so conceited and timid to be ashamed of one's mistakes. Of course they are mistakes. Go on to the next.
One of the misfortunes of our time is that in getting rid of false shame we have killed off so much real shame as well.
We all make mistakes, and it's not until we make mistakes that we learn.
I think to an extent every human being needs to be redeemed somewhat or at least needs to look at themselves and say, 'I've made mistakes, I'm off course, I need to change.' Which is probably the hardest thing for a human being to do, and maybe that's why it interests me so.
The simple reality of life is that everyone is wrong on a regular basis. By confronting these inevitable errors, you allow yourself to make corrections before it is too late.
Shame is an unhappy emotion invented by pietists in order to exploit the human race.
There is no shame like poor shame. It can make you warm and charming, bitter and resentful, all at once.
Making mistakes is part of life. The only things I would feel ashamed of would be if I had said things I hadn't believed in order to get on. Some politicians do do that.
For shameful deeds are taught by shameful deeds.
