....it's always tempting to mull over mistakes. (It is, but to do so ad infinitum is like dragging the past around with you in the present.) We do this sometimes because we feel we may be able to learn something - and sometimes, through some perverse desire to punish ourselves. Often though, our biggest mistakes are the ones we know nothing about. They may involve opportunities we do not realise we have missed or decisions that have led to a worse outcome than we yet realise.
And then, there are the moves we made which we thought were wrong, yet turned out not to be mistakes at all.
The 3 great mysteries: air to a bird, water to a fish, mankind to himself. (Hindu Proverb)
