Then at least you tried. Not knowing what you missed is a different kind of pain than that of a mistake; an almost incurable one. Of course, this isn’t a full proof notion, things rarely are, so I understand your point.
Yes Martha, perhaps this is a notion better applied to more trivial occurrences, such as those with the outdoors (though in my experience, and from talking to my elders, it can certainly be applied elsewhere).
What if you regret making a mistake?

My comment was not meant to be all that serious. Your principle here is well-taken; better to mess up than never to try.
