No matter how careful a person you are, mistakes will inevitably happen. Humans are just mistake prone. There’s no way around it. So, if you believe this — and I do — it is best to expect making mistakes.
If nothing else, if you expect to make mistakes, it may make you a bit more careful, so that you end up minimizing mistakes.
I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up.
