Of shoes -- and ships -- and sealing wax --
Of cabbages -- and kings --
And why the sea is boiling hot --
And whether pigs have wings.

Mistakes
There are two kinds of mistakes: the kind we have learnt to live with, and the kind we are yet to make. Everything else is ego, and self-dramatization. Regret takes second place to our need for forgiveness, our fear of being forgotten.

Why does not the list include mistakes that we have learnt not to repeat? After all, I would like to believe there is some such thing as that!
Actually, the two kinds are- the ones we know are mistakes, before we make them anyways, and then the ones that we come to realize are mistakes. Of course, what doesn't change is the scope.
