If a scientist offered me a portion that could prevent all mistakes, my first instinct would be curiosity. Imagine a world where failure never existed, where regret and embarrassment were foreign words. At first, it sounds like paradise. No heartbreak, no missed opportunities, no wrong turns. Peace, tolerance, perfection.
But then I think of the little things. The inventions that color our lives microwaves, popsicles, Velcro, even matches were born from failure, from trial and error. Mistakes are the sparks of creativity. Without them, how would we innovate? How would we grow?
Mistakes are messy, frustrating, sometimes painful but they teach us empathy, patience, resilience. They force us to pause, rethink, and try again. A world without mistakes might be smooth and quiet, but also stagnant, empty of the lessons that shape who we are.
So, no I would not take the portion. I choose the messy, unpredictable, beautiful chaos of mistakes. I choose the chance to stumble, learn, and rise. Because it’s through our errors that we find courage, wisdom, and even joy. A perfect world may seem safe, but it would never truly be alive.
