Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. Mistakes. Do you ever make mistakes? I sure do. Have you ever done things in the past? Which right after you do them, you wish you hadn't I sure have. Oh what about something you wish you wouldn't do but then you keep doing it?

Have you ever done that? I have. It really is one of the

perplexing things about being human. The mistakes we make because we all make

them and sometimes they are small but sometimes they are just devastating.

But the question that I've tried to ponder over the years is when we make mistakes because we're going to, what's the best approach to deal

with them so that we don't keep doing them?

Well, in our world today, what is the tendency when people mess up?

How do other people tend to respond to these mess-ups?

Now I know I'm being very light with my words when I say messed up,

because sometimes messed up means they killed someone, they've raped

someone, they've done horrible damage to someone else. But even when it's on the lighter note,

let's say they said or did something that didn't cause any permanent damage, but definitely

did hurt another person.

What do we tend to do?

Well if you keep up with social media, which I'm sure most of us do, often after a post, a

tweet, or a news article, there's the comment section.

And again, if you've ever had a chance to look at the comment section, I think we can

agree that the majority of people tend to be very harsh toward the antagonist, the person

that caused the damage or the harm.

Rarely, if ever, do we see comments about,

yes, this person did something wrong, but they're still a human being and we need to love

them and help them to get better because there's something wrong with them and they need help.
