cringe - experience an inward shiver of embarrassment.
Yes we all have made and continue to make mistakes.
Some mistakes are massive, some tiny. Sometimes we are unaware of them because we have a blind spot that precludes our understanding or acknowledgment. So we operate blissfully unaware of our effect on individuals and the environment.
Whenever the awareness does creep in sometimes we cringe, sometimes we are shocked, sometimes we laugh maybe out of embarrassment, etc.
Maybe there are cringe states where we walk around with a sense of regret, hopefully it wears off.
So we learn from our mistakes at least in theory and in legend or folk wisdom.
Maybe we are forgiven, maybe not. Maybe we forgive ourselves, maybe not. And we carry on.
