Mistakes are a key part of discovery. If we didn't make mistakes we would never know the difference between right and wrong whether it is in science  or in life. How would we know how the world worked without mistaken theories and learning off of those to create a correct understanding of the world around us. If we didn't make mistakes with the people we know and care for then we wouldn't have created the definition of the golden rule. Mistakes are the key to discovery in so many things. There is so much unknown but with our mistakes, we will be able to find out so much more.
