Is it just me or Newbies are the most philosophical users on the forum at times?
In my opinion there are two kind of mistakes:
- Innocent mistakes: Those that put you on a bad situation of any kind, but eventually you get better and improve as a person. For example, we get our first girlfriend/ boyfriend and in the end it does not work out. It can makes us feel bad but we learn from it, or when you get scammed for 10 BTC and you learn from it. In this cases you did not mean harm to anyone.
- Malicious mistakes: Things you do knowing it may not be right or while meaning harm to others, eventually you get punished because your actions and
then you consider those actions to be mistakes. For example, commiting a crime, trying hard drugs, ect.
Both can change the path of our lives, of course.
