TRIAL AND ERROR
TRIAL AND ERROR
Trial and error is a great teacher .
Trial and error may have been the very first teacher, after our parents , who also learned by trial and error.
Like who learned the chicken and its egg was edible? Trial and error ?
Who first learned how to farm or fish or trap or hunt or build or kill?
Doubtless it was by trial and error.
The problem with trial and error is not so much the trial, though it has hazards enough of its own, as the inevitable error, which does arise!
The error can burn, bite, poison , flee, agitate, sting, attack, rebel.
Truth has consequence as well as rewards. So does trial and error .
