Where 'this' is to be in denial about making mistakes.

You seem to be illustrating the resistance described in the story! I
would say that we would learn more humility, compassion, and
tolerance. By willing to accept our own imperfections we should
naturally become more accepting of the mistakes of others (and vice
versa.)

Life is only interesting if we are intolerant of our mistakes? I
certainly hope not. I don't know about you, but I I don't expect to
stop making mistakes to learn from any time soon...
