An Oscar Wilde qoute

Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes. 

- Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan, 1892, Act III

 

I liked this qoute because it is so accurate, because every time someone makes a mistake, they often just shrug it off and say "Well, now I learned that" or "Well I should not do that, I have now learned" or even "Well now I have experienced this too", and when they tell they children or friends or other Family about it, they call it an experience, not a mistake.

Why won`t we call it mistake? Why do we tell everyone it is an experience? Are we afraid of others reactions and therefore call it an experience? Or are we ashamed of ourselves for doing mistakes, and therfore it is easier to live with, if we call it an experience insted of a mistake? Of course sometimes it is an experience, but a lot of time they are mistakes.
