Hi marcus
Try to stop thinking that making errors is bad.
This is a christian ideology that may block your way of looking at

world in a open way.
Not true at all. It might be a catholic ideology, but its not
christian.
Christianity is about love, faith, and redemption. Not fear, fear is
the
opposite of faith. The whole point of christianity is to remove fear
from the equation, even the ultimate fear, fear of death.
Ok sorry. catholic then :)
If you are a parent, would you want to provide a safe space to learn
and
grow, or to have your kids live in fear of making mistakes.
I have counselled many perfectionists, and those who have suffered at
the hands of same, over the past few years, and God, being a father,
always tells them that it is ok to make mistakes, and not to be
afraid.
He is big enough to cover us and help us to work through the
consequences of our mistakes should they occur. Given that emotional
support, it is ok to make mistakes.
So do not let you fun gets spoiled by this oversimplistic view on the
world.
Agreed one would not want to oversimplify by blaming some "ideology"
for
all our problems.
