Can life make a mistake?

That's misleading journalism on the part of whoever wrote that article. The American Psychiatric Association does not hold its annual convention in the same place every year. The 2025 convention, for example, will be in Los Angeles. The 2023 convention was in San Francisco. The 2024 convention was in fact held in NYC. It changes every year.

Maybe they used to hold it in the same place?

Maybe, a long time ago. But I've worked for both APA and the "other" APA (American Psychological Association), and they usually move it around from year to year.

I do agree with your post about what the article reports the bartender saying, though. I wasn't trying to contradict you or anything.

I miss John Lennon. I miss him so much. It was so UNFAIR what Happened TO him and consequently to many of us who cared for him.

I'll never forget that day in New York City when I saw John and Yoko walking down Broadway in the upper west side of Manhattan, around West 78th or 79th Street. Everyone stopped and just looked at them. No one bothered them. It must have been a chilly day. Yoko was bundled up in a white fur coat. John had jeans and a denim jacket that was opened in front.

When people are famous, they seem larger than life. John looked a few inches taller than me. Around 5' 10" or so. They were just a few feet away from me. After John was murdered in 1980, I kept thinking about that encounter on that day in 1978. He had no way of knowing that he only had a couple more years of life left. šŸ˜¢
 

Mistakes are what cause mutations and evolution. But if you don't call those "mistakes," we are just talking semantics. Here's other questions. Does life always get it right? Does life have a plan? Does evolution have a plan?
 
That was a classic line from the film. Life in general actually does pretty good, given the right environment. Species are something else, however. Almost 100 percent of all species that ever lived or that are living now go extinct. That is part of evolution.

Wow, that is totally validating to hear. I don't think some understand that an abused child is a developing human. Their brains are developing. When I heard that they believe childhood abuse rewires the brain, it explained just about everything. Nothing will stop my brain from telling me I'm a POS everyday. Because I was raised to believe I was.
