crescendo

Today I played a horrible game of go, not that I lost but my opponent is one that is still new to the game, he was doing ok till mid game, after losing the battle at bottom left he went into kaboom mode with linear moves without thinking. I assume he was frustrated as I was once like that too in the past. Nothing much to talk about though, not even funny. I played black and final score was 218 vs 21.5.

"People make mistakes. Sometimes very serious ones. As often as not, the mistakes aren't deliberate or personal. Sometimes people just don't know what they are doing. This means that if, in the past, people have behaved badly towards you, it wasn't necessarily because they meant to be horrid, but because they were as naive, as foolish, as human as the rest of us. They made mistakes in the way they brought you up or finished a relationship with you or whatever, not because they wanted to do it that way, but because they didn't know any different."
-Richard Templar

We all make mistakes, sometimes very serious ones. People say that it is ok to make mistakes, we are human, and yet how many more serious mistakes can we afford to make. Time is turning, how many more chances do we get at making mistakes? There is no elaborate word for fear of making mistakes, just a simple mistake phobia. There really is no point dwelling on a mistake already made, it might fill us up with the "what if..." doubts but it's best to just forget and move on.

Memories are nice and sweet but sometimes bitter too. A problem most of us face is that we are not able to let go of those bittersweet memories. I do not believe that they can just be forgotten, but instead they can be replaced. Creating new memories to replace the old ones. Memories are just ... memories, if they are buried they will one day resurface, if they are forgotten they will come back, but if they are replaced, it is not easy for the old memories to displace the new ones.

What in the world am I typing. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa
