I wish we do not have to be stuck in the infinite complexity created  
by our past mistakes. Unless you are talking about some terminal  
desease or the like you can always fix a bad decision your took in the  
past with a good decision you take now.

Or to quote from a book I read  "Any mistakes you commit through  
audacity are easily corrected with more audacity". Don't know who  
wrote this.
