Can you imagine what your life would be like if you were able to correct mistakes instantly, like on most cell phones with an auto correction feature?  This thought intrigued me this afternoon, when I was typing a message to someone and as the feature corrected the word I wanted to use, it made me wonder about having this feature available to us during the course of our everyday lives.  If it did exist, I think we could learn to become quite dependent on the fact that we would depend on something else for making our decisions.  Having this could certainly rob us of the ability to learn from our mistakes, because living in this type of world we probably would be less likely to make them.  The result would also diminish our resilience in attempting to overcome an obstacle and the concept of a hard lesson learned would be eliminated from our existing vocabulary.  The truth is, that although lessons are tough and in some instances they can feel quite painful, we end up growing so much as a result of the experience.  As children we learned that if we touched the stove and it was hot, we would get burned.  Usually, it did not take more than once to realize that you are not supposed to do this based upon the consequence.  In life, we too utilize our lessons in the same manner, in trying to not repeat something that did not feel right or brought us negative ramifications.  Our ability to walk through a problem and live in those moments that make us vulnerable, is also our ticket to the solution in many instances.  When we begin to pray, meditate or simply sit in silence in the midst of a storm, we are usually filled with some level of hope that we will able to get past this turbulent period.  In addition, we get this will and energy that allows us to get up and move on.  If we had an app that did this for us, then we would not grow as much or be able to share with others how we were able to find success during our times of need.  Strength usually comes from within ourselves and unless we have peeled enough layers from the outside of who we really are, it may be more difficult to reach that much needed place that will allow us to succeed.  The next time that you have an opportunity to marvel at technology, which I do believe makes our world much better at times, we should also reflect on the fact that nothing can replace the human experience.  Whether it is positive or negative, the result makes us stronger and more knowledgeable.  Our children and grandchildren may learn about things via an electronic mechanism, however, nothing can ever replace the learning that is accomplished through the human experience.  When a wise person finds you and whispers some sage words that can bring you comfort and allow you to look at things differently, is the moment that you realize that the human touch is infinitely more valuable.
