It is, as it should be: screwing up is part of living, one of the educational parts. :lol:
I've kind of insisted that I mention the things I've done incorrectly, because, really, they're funny and most other folks have done much the same...they just don't talk about them until someone else brings them up.
Seems fewer folks are willing to laugh at themselves these days; dunno why. Maybe society seems harsher, so we have a tendency to protect ourselves. It is only with old friends that we can relax and let the stories flow.
It does seem to me that there are fewer groups of people with a history together, and more acquaintances just sharing an experience. Life is kind of fragmented into time slots: work, family, specific hobbies or interests, and of course, the isolation of the digital equipment, which ironically, isolates us as it allows us to communicate with vast new points of view.
Neighbors move more frequently, buddies take jobs in other places, marriages break up, so many people I've known have developed tunnel vision about their careers that they exclude other parts of living.
Might just be my age, but society seems less social.
