Do we make mistakes because we are human or are we human because we make mistakes?

Question

Animals don't make mistakes. They do what they were made to do. So I'm wondering if we're made to mess up just so we can learn from it.

Answer 1

Because we are human.

Part of the requirements of being human isn't that you must make mistakes.

ADDITIONAL: Animals do too make mistakes. If they didn't then they would never suffer injury or be picked off by predators.

Answer 2

We make mistake because we are not Gods, and we are not Gods because we are the creators of the Gods, who created them to visualise the perfection that will never be.

Answer 3

Human.. and the other great part is that we can learn from them and not be the fly that keeps flying into the window

Answer 4

Both, actually.

Answer 5

We are human because we make mistakes. Imperfection!

Darn, we should have been dying because we are abusing the world we rent.

Answer 6

There are no mistakes..only lessons,.

If you are attached to mistakes, they keep coming around until you get it right.

Answer 7

That's like saying what came first, the chicken or the egg.

Answer 8

I think we are humans by mistake. Did not think wewould have been created to do what we do.

Answer 9

Human because we make mistakes.

Answer 10

I say we come to this world to learn, but laziness (always seeking comfort) is part of humans DNA. The consequence of a mistake is usually brought to our attention and thus pushing us to do something about it. That's how we learn.

Though, I have seen people who repeatedly pull the  "....Well, I am sorry, OK?, I am human, I make mistakes....!!!",  but only when their conscious wrongdoings get caught.

What does it mean? I guess it means they still have a lot to learn ☺

Answer 11

Of course animals make mistakes and learn from them. Humans do too. I suspect that even plants and rocks make mistakes Why? Because we were all made by a perfect God who loves imperfection in his art. God must love imperfection because he, or she, made so much of it.

Answer 12

Human

Answer 13

Ever see a baby animal fall off a log or a bird smash into a window. Animals make mistakes. People make mistakes. Humans do not have the market cornered on making mistakes. I'm sorry to burst your bubble. Even God made the Devil and God made humanity ... what a huge ******* mistake that was. Like most humans you think humans are special. As if we are the only clever ***** to **** up on this planet. You are so far wrong. **** breaks all the time and it has nothing to do with humans. Get off your high depressed ******* horse and welcome to reality. Humans don't make up the world they only live on it.
