How on earth do you forgive yourself and move on? It's a totally odd idea to me.
Or do you think it's just a saying? Or that people are somehow fooling themselves when they say that this is how they handle their own mistakes?
To me, it's just one more layer of guilt to add onto the ever-increasing-'guilt-rubber-band'-ball...

Hi,
In one of Shakespeare's plays there is sentence:
"Things past remedy should be past care"
If you make a mistake, put it right if it is possible, if not forget about it!
In my occupation there is a saying:
"if you don't make a mistake, you don't make anything!"
In this world nothing is perfect. Move on and forget about the mistake or bottle it up and you end up a nervous wreck.
