Wounds and Miracles

I think that if we had ever been given the chance to see beforehand the consequences of our choices, we would probably not have made as many mistakes, or caused as much pain to others as we normally do.

Then again, I have heard a lot of experts and academics saying that the first characteristic of humans is that we tend to repeat our mistakes, even if we have already experienced a consequence. Call it stubbornness, simple forgetfulness, or probably a huge pile of pride on our end, we tend to go into the same, or similar situations, and repeat our choices and decisions.
