                       %LEARNING FROM YOUR MISTAKES 851019

     Learning  from  your  own  mistakes  involves   self-
referential,   reflective,   behavior.   It  is  logically
impossible  to  learn from your own mistakes  if  you  are
ultimately  committed  to  always being objective  in  all
circumstances.    To be objective is to  divorce  yourself
from  a  situation and view it in a detached  way  without
emotional  involvement  in what the situation implies  for
one's  own  self welfare.   Situations in which one's  own
self  welfare  are essentially involved can not  be  views
with total objectivity.

     It  is possible to respond to situations which entail
profound implications for one's own welfare according to a
program which is systematic, unemotional, and analytic; as
when an airplane pilot deals with a situation in which  in
all probability the airplane is going to crash and all the
pilot  can do is assess the situation as intelligently and
dispassionately as possible to take action to minimize the
destruction  to  all  involved.    Such  behavior  is  not
entirely  objective for the pilot is essentially  involved
and   can  not  extricate  himself  or  herself  from  the
situation  so  as to view it "objectively"   without  self
interest  in the outcome.   Wisdom and objectivity are not
essentially  the  same.    People  who  are   compulsively
objective  are not wise nor compassionate.   They can  not
learn from their own mistakes because they are not free to
be   openly  reflective  about  themselves  and  how  they
interact/relate to their environment;  their attention  is
upon their environment,  not upon how they relate to their
environment,  they are out of the picture by the rules  of
objectivity and its compulsive taboos.
