Thanks. Yes you've hit the nail on the head with your last sentence. Poor judgment for the sake of it serves nothing; as we continue and will go on to make the same mistakes.
As human beings, we are all allowed to make poor judgment from time to time. Besides, we are all trying to do the best we can with the life given to us.
The good thing about poor judgment is the lessons learned and the wisdom gained in how to better deal with life's situations.
This is a clever little quote. It's absolutely true our experiences are formed through making mistakes, as long as we learn from them.
Poor judgement for the sake of it serves nothing.

Your response is absolutely spot on Maria. Just love it. There's nothing more that I need to add.
I agree with Brad on this one, it's clever for sure. But I wonder if poor judgement is also the result of inadequate experience.
Sometimes I think life is more clever than what our experiences teach us.
Thanks Tim. Yes it is. There is no doubt in my mind that poor judgement is often the result of inadequate experiences.
I think life is more clever when we fail to learn what life is trying to teach us, but that it's our experiences that make us more worldly and clever.
