“Give me a fruitful error anytime, full of seeds, bursting with its own corrections.”– Vilfredo Pareto
When we really mess up, we learn alot. Similarly, when we’re around people who are really messing up, we have a wonderful example of what not to do or how not to be. It’s powerful to have things be so clear! For example, when a girlfriend is stuck in a miserable relationship with a basically nice person, I often tease, “Boy, it sure would be easier if he was beating you or something.” When things are obviously messed up or wrong, we what we don’t want, which helps us figure out what we do want and what we need to do to create positive change in our lives.
