Yes, you read that correctly. “You should have seen the look on their feces.” That was a line I recently read in a book. Clearly it was a mistake the publisher didn’t catch and no doubt that poor author felt some level of embarrassment to see the word feces instead of faces in print. The moral of the story, we all make mistakes.
We live busy lives and stuff gets past us. The best we can do in such situations is go easy on ourselves. We are not always going to get it right, or despite our best intentions do the right thing. Mistakes should be used to keep us humble, to practice forgiveness, to strengthen our character, not to beat us into that dark corner of worthlessness. After all if we were all perfect, would we even have a word like feces. Who thought of that anyway?
Warmly,
