"Mistakes were made" they said

Occasionally I make mistakes. Like daily. Though I try not to make the very same ones daily. Some are of the "I'll look back on this and laugh" variety. Many are not. Some make your heart sink. Most of the time I really do mean well. And that gives me pause when I am poised to pass judgment, pause to ask what is a mistake and what is an attack or sabotage or apathy...and how will I know, with being a mind reader, know for certain, intention? And does intention always trump consequence? or vice versa? Hhhmmmm....
