We look back into the life and we think that what if I could have done to avoid that mistake? What was possible in the past that could have made the life easier? We have plenty of questions of the past in our mind. And we think or believe that mistakes in past were unavoidable.
But that is just not true at all. Mistakes in life are unavoidable. You just can't avoid the mistakes.

You make mistake and some of the time you won't even realize it. For example today we have mobile and the computers in everyday use. But in past those who were born in 80s or mid 90s. We had very limited computers and mobiles were not there. So a lot of things about life progress was not possible in the past. All of understanding of many past things was possible only in future.
You meet bad people and understand how to identify the bad people. And when you meet enough bad people you understand where the good people are and how does that work. So all of the mistakes often stack up in such way that they can collectively give you some good lessons. And we learn a lot of things out of the stacked value of it.
You have to take one electric shock in life in order to learn that there are some appliances and the places where you are not supposed to touch. So once that experience comes in you understand and get the wisdom. So mistake is where that is likely to happen. Teachers also teach us the same way. We can frankly say that mistakes are indeed the better teachers.
Many time travel movies tell you that you could go back and change things. But imagine you make mistake due to lack of awareness of the incident. And so the value of incident attaches to your lack of awareness. And that also means that you will gain that awareness in future. So in short the mistake in atleast one time line remains unavoidable. There is an incident value for the mistake.
So as you can see from these points the mistakes are going to happen. And there is nothing we can do about it. There are not a lot of things we can change about the mistakes. We just learn from them and just promise our own self that mistakes won't happen in near future.
How do you view the mistakes in life? A lesson or regret?
