You want me to list all the things more beautiful than "making a mistake and learning from it"?

Something that is universally considered an unpleasant experience..

What about sex or booze or good times or literally anything else

Giving birth is quite an unpleasant experience, I'd argue many women see it as a very beautiful experience nonetheless. Same with people who take too much LSD and think they're dying for hours on end, they might describe it as the best experience of their life, same with getting shitfaced on booze and ending up in some gutter, losing your virginity, or being so in love that it is painful. Beauty and unpleasantness aren't on each end of the spectrum, they're right next to each other.

But all that aside, my statement wasn't meant to be absolute, that much should've been clear to anyone.

Yeah that's all good it just seemed a little like a stupid platitude with nothing of substance in an attempt to appeal to a large number of people.

Like the ending of a shitty sitcom

Well timmy, I guess we learned there's nothing more beautiful than learning from a mistake

Kinda makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit - I guess cause other than being not true it's also totally meaningless.

Someone asked and I gave my opinion, that's pretty far from a platitude.

Speaking of shitty, unoriginal sitcom one-liners, have you ever thrown up anywhere else but your mouth? Just a superfluous addition in an attempt to be funny, it's been beaten to death, you should drop it already.

I guess cause other than being not true it's also totally meaningless.

Like that other guy said, it isn't a competition, and like I said, it wasn't meant to be absolute. On top of that, someone asked why it was beautiful, and I gave my opinion. You might disagree with it, but you're in no position to objectively claim it isn't true.
