There are no mistakes, only learning lessons.
There ARE however such a thing as "on purposes" |

 Trusting someone you think is human that later turns out to be a draconian is a pretty bad mistake

Many people do not want to take responsibility for their actions; therefore, by saying they made a mistake rather than a bad decision -- they are mitigating the reason for the outcome. In the same manner, lexicon usage plays a part in how people “soften” their actions. For example, “I fibbed” doesn’t sound as bad as “I lied” but they mean the same. Side-stepping the action with kinder words allows people to avoid the seriousness of the issue. Yea what she said. Well done. It's 3:30 am so my brain is too squishy for heavy thinking but I agree with the Beautiful Blonde on this one. 
Yes, she is, isn't she? and smrt too. Very smrt. Always enjoy her posts. BigLife, PacificStar, and Eileena -- thank you so much for the supportive comments!
I have another twist regarding this post. 
A person could also say it's a mistake to make a bad decision. I do not believe the words "mistake" and "bad decision" are synonymous. I believe the word "mistake" is a transitive verb for the action of making a bad decision. 
I wish some of my professors thought I was as enlightening as you guys! They push me so hard that I feel like an idiot in their eyes most of the time. 
That's only because they don't want to accept that a beautiful blond is smarter then them
Hi Isaac!
I wouldn't go so far as to say that ... but thank you for the compliment! 
I actually appreciate their efforts in pushing me to my fullest potential. It would be heartbreaking if master's degrees were just handed out!  I have another long road ahead if I decide to pursue my doctoral. Lately, I vacillate as to whether I will start that program now. I am a little burned out.

I must say people who can not accept responsibility for their own actions are at the top of my "things that ROYALLY piss me off" list.
