Mistakes are a double-edged sword. On the one side, they are necessary and
valuable in learning. On the other side, they are expensive and time-consuming
to correct. To make mistakes without creating excessive damage takes a humble
attitude and considerable courage.
Mistakes made due to ignorance are referred to as “honest mistakes.” In most cases, honest mistakes are easily corrected by proper education. Mistakes made knowingly are harder to correct, because they involve changing a mind, a heart, or a system. Oftentimes punishment must be used to change a stubborn reliance on a mistaken strategy.
In all cases, the most productive strategy for correcting mistakes is to allow the error’s consequences to be known. Where the consequences are potentially too serious to allow them to proceed naturally, counseling to the wrongdoer emphasizes the potential damage caused by the error.
Mistakes are the most effective way to learn. The consequences of a mistake both
illuminate the nature of the error and provide motivation to change. Particularly
valuable are unintended consequences of a decision, since they throw further
light on the breadth of an issue. An unintended consequence is the effect of an
action on factors of a problem that have not been considered. For example, an
unintended consequence of using CFC’s as refrigerants is the depletion of the
ozone layer of the upper atmosphere. When CFC’s were originally chosen for
their compressibility, the ozone layer and its protective functions were unknown.
In the complexity of modern life, mistakes can be made in a variety of ways. Negligence, malice, ignorance, or laziness can all contribute to mistakes with consequences well beyond the intent of the wrongdoer. For example, ignoring a gas gauge when concerned about seemingly greater problems can cause a painful expenditure of time and energy to correct.
However, uncorrectable mistakes should be avoided at all costs. Mistakes that take human life destroy precious relationships that cannot be repaired. Mistakes of selfishness or envy often destroy reputations and good will, which cannot be easily mended.
Humility is the recognition that mistakes are inevitable and all-prevalent, both in
us and in others. Humility makes one properly cautious about choices, yet gives
one the courage to try, knowing that mistakes cannot be avoided, but should not
be feared. Thus, humility is the prerequisite to learning from mistakes. When
facing the consequences of mistakes, a humble attitude shows a willingness to
learn, and often makes punishment unnecessary.
Finally, the most important ingredient in correcting mistakes is forgiveness.
Without forgiveness, the consequences of mistakes are magnified beyond
toleration. Otherwise simple errors grow into monstrous menaces. Road rage
victims can testify to the monstrosity of unforgiveness toward simple mistakes. In
reality, the person who stands to gain most from forgiveness is the offended
individual. Peace of mind, relaxation of stress, and optimism are the benefits of a
forgiving attitude. In that respect, all persons who can be forgiven should be
forgiven, for the health of the forgiver, if for no other reason.
