Favourite mistake
Monday is a serious day. Serious things happened today...making me inevitably serious as well. I like being serious every once and a while. Today I got a-thinking, and wondered how many decisions in my life have been mistakes. From a *philosophical* view, none of them are mistakes, as my fate is already planned for me, but I do sometimes dwell on the fork in road analogy. What happens if I had turned left, right, right, instead of right, left, left? Would I be a completely different person. I think I would. Experiences shape a person. I suppose I never know.
Going back to what decisions have a made that have been mistakes....is it a mistake if the initial outcome is good, but the knock-on effects are bad. What may seem like a good idea now, may ultimately affect me in a negative way later on in life. How will I ever distinguish between good and bad decisions. I assume that's where the life experience comes into play. Growing as person, you will learn which are the right decisions for you, and which aren't, however going by past decisions and outcomes cannot be assumed to be a good thing to go by, as every situation is unique.
I guess I will just have to use my poor judgement on things.

I see you got some thinking in, not that it's rare or anything in your case. However, I do enjoy the 'what if's' about life so this blog grabs my inteterest more so than usual. Just nice to see someone else thinking along that road for a change. And although you covered the topic fairly well at just about every angle, I have but one thing to add, something I'm sure you'll appreciate^^
*Cough* It's "Philosophical" hee hee
