"Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes."

We have a tendency to lie to ourselves. every time we do something wrong we try and make ourselves feel better by saying its experience. Its something we can learn from, something that will light the way to a future or happiness. Face it, sometimes a mistake is a mistake. sometimes people screw up and there is no lesson to be learned. You need to take a step back, observe the shipwreck you just caused, and realize there is no bringing the titanic up from the bottom of the ocean. Sure, you can say "well, next time we wont take the life boats off the ship" or "well, next time we won't hit an ice burg" but when are you ever going to be sailing a ship through ice burg infested waters? Never. Just walk away with your head hung in shame and hope your good points have made up for the bad ones.
