I’ve been burned by my own hubris more times than I can count

But the source of my hubris (hubris?) is a sort of naive willingness / confidence (ok I don’t agree with this choice of words: hubris, maybe looking at it more like a child like wonder) - and it shouldn’t be put down, if anything it should be encouraged and cultivated further - you should look foolish and just generally do things whether you look foolish or not 

I think when you are an actual child you’re often given some leeway for your shortcomings - ah look July is a child how fun it is that he is making these mistakes. As you get older people become a bit more tight, and less open to failure. That’s a shame, that can be remedied easily imo

I’ve been burned by my own hubris plenty of times, but honestly, that childlike curiosity and confidence shouldn’t be discouraged. We stop giving ourselves room to fail as we get older, and that’s a shame. Do you think we can bring that sense of freedom back as adults?
