small and large
every size in between
we make them
others make them
the reckless, unintentional,
without forethought type of injury
is suffered upon the unwilling,
mildly harmed as well as grossly enraged
a mood, the time of day, the severity
at the time of infliction predicts our response
have a laugh and acceptance
compassion and empathy
or maybe cutting out their further influence
shall errors happen again and again
or will we learn to not repeat
perhaps we just get better at not screwing up the small stuff
only to really fuck things up

Oh so so true. I think some people mess up more than others. If the mistake is not very grave, we can forgive or be forgiven. But sometimes it becomes difficult to overlook repeat offenders

Absolutely, there is a spectrum of severity which, IMO, deserves varying consequences on a spectrum too. Repeat offenders are difficult to deal with.
