A teacher whom the LLL likes says that people used to say 'namaste' to her. She thought that they were saying 'no mistake'. The teacher thought that they were so wise! Imagine if, when you shoot off that email and think, "I forgot to change that one detail" and realized, "wait! That was supposed to happen!" But why? To remind you to check more carefully next time. To remind you that you are human. To remind you to take a breath.
There are any number of reasons. This concept is comforting during our busy days trying to get so much done and then, let's say, getting interrupted. Suppose, for example, you were working on project A, but person B is out and needs to be covered. No mistakes! This is how it's supposed to be. Or, perhaps, the phone system goes down for an hour. No mistakes! It's a chance to have some freedom from the ringing sound and to talk with the friendly people in tech support.
Radical, perhaps. But comforting!
