          faux  pas

We all make mistakes
    Subconsciously or consciously
       You either say
          The right words or
             Words that
                 You assumed
                    Were right
                        At the time
                           All of us
                             Make 'blunders' 
           Whether they be big or small
           Our actions state who we are
           If we never made mistakes
           We would never learn or grow....
      However some never learn or grow at all

there is a larger difference in making a mistake
and that would be deliberately committing a wrong doing
Both have a consequence
but one is a known consequence (wrong doing)
while the other is a mistake
which gives us value through
the unknown consequence...

Mistakes are a wonderful tool

The final line contains a question (that could inspire another piece!) "why do some people learn from their mistakes while others keep repeating them unaware?" Maybe we're all a combination of both.
