Anti-Logic

We go through life, being told that we shouldn't be bit from the same hole twice, shouldn't play with fire, and that we should learn from other people's mistakes instead of making our own.
On the face of it, that sounds very logical. Being bit from a certain hole would teach your mind that placing your hand in that same hole again would most probably end with the same result. Playing with fire, as our minds are programmed will eventually give you a burn. And of course, learning from other people's mistakes would save you the time, effort and emotional disturbance Except I don't agree with all the above, at least not absolutely.
Life is much more complicated for us to come and corner it with a couple of wise words.
Life, with all it's physics, chemistry, and sense, can't be lived through logic only. That simply isn't how the human brain was designed, otherwise God wouldn't have given us feelings.
I blame it all on feelings. But then again, it is those feelings that make us what we are.
The thing is, each of us is an individual. An individual in the descriptive sense. Each is different from the other in every single aspect no matter how similar two individuals may seem. That difference, of course, varies in magnitude, but persists nonetheless.
We need our mistakes. Our own experiences of the world that feed us back the proper incentives that shape our character and define our reaction to future events. The meal that we have been invited to in a restaurant does not resemble the one that we have payed for ourselves. Even though we are the ones who order it and eat it, but are never the one ones who prepare it. Our experiences of the would give us a different feedback because they have engaged in our own analytic and emotional thinking.
We challenge our failures from time to time, trying to change them or at least get the best out of them. It's what causes disastrous outcomes in some stories, but it is also what caused Addison to develop the practical electric light bulb. It is in the same sense that scientific experiments go through trial and error that humans sometimes need to make the same mistake twice after emotions have been altered. After all, emotions affect everything we do all of the time. The point here is not that we should go through the trial and error experiments over and over again with the same inputs, but to appreciate human's repeated mistakes as they are what drives to failure, but also enable greatness other times.
