Today, I was reminded of a fortunately fictional story in which a man erases practically all human knowledge in existence, at least partly to cover up the devastating mistakes he had made. This is, of course, unproductive and ultimately extremely selfish. The man was right to worry about his legacy, but the right thing to do would have been to let others learn about the mistake he had made, in hopes that they would be wise enough not to repeat them. He should try not to be ashamed to learn from our mistakes and help others learn from them, too. Part of the reason we're on this Earth is to learn from experiences and mistakes, both our own and others'. It's difficult to do that if we aren't willing to share our experiences and even our mistakes with others.
We all make mistakes. When we do, it would be wise to try to learn from our mistakes, and it'd be good to help others learn from them as well.
