I remember in first or second grade when I realized that, when I made a mistake, I didn't have to erase the whole word and I could just erase the part I messed up.
I’m sorry what?
Yeah you should try it next time, it's a game changer.
I used to have these small faux pas lead to tension and eventually the loss of relationships.
One day I was complaining to my zen teacher about one of these instances and he suggested I apologize for it.
He said “That’s called ‘make mistake, correct mistake’” (I think he made up the saying on the spot for me).
Now some twelve years later I’m still reminding myself that I can just correct my mistakes.
Thankful not to be a medieval monk and having to throw away the whole page / scroll when you make a mistake
