Episode 5. Is perfection the reason for mistakes?

Life throws many curve balls and we don't always know how to hit it, and sometimes we completely miss it. Then we find ourselves beating ourselves about the mistake we have done. But where does this blaming psychology come from? How can we sometimes be so mean to ourselves that we blame our mistakes on our skills or capacity.

Believe it or not mistakes are not a static thing where it can be measured or by seen by everyone, so how do we perceive them? If we can perceive them how can we avoid them?
