An honest mistake may still have consequences

Sometimes you may make a big mistake despite your built in warning system going off to warn you.   At these times you clearly expect that you will have to face the consequences for not heeding the warning. But what about when you simply make an honest mistake? Will you still have a price to pay? Unfortunately sometimes you do. You will have to simply grin and bare it. At least you can not say you knew better, which helps. Nor can anyone else honestly say I told you so. Don't be so hard on yourself if you honestly make a mistake because you know that you wouldn't have done it if you would have known.
