Meditations Part 4

As I read on Descartes talks about himself and he said if he can't refrain from making mistakes, with the rule i mentioned in the post before, he said there is another way to aviod it. He said that it would mainly depend on him remembering to refrain from making judgments whenever the truth is unclear, even though he can't remain constantly focused on the same thought of knowledge. This would cause often repeated meditations and therefore, eventually make a habit of not erring. I do not really understand how this can cause no mistakes. He does not really explain how repeated meditations will not cause mistakes.

I think that he is saying that mistakes are everywhere and in everyone. If you look at yourself you can understand your mistakes and that they you are closer to perfect if you can say that you make a mistake and see look for away not to make the same mistake over again.

Ohh ok...thank you. I understand what you mean...That you are not perfect but you are closer because you learn from your mistakes.
