As a young knuckle-head, I made a many mistakes. And I'd say 100% of the undesirable outcome was on account of me not thinking things through. Not knowing how to apply critical thinking, use logic, which really equates to me have little wisdom or experience at being an adult. In other words, me unaware of "cause and effect." The laws of unintended consequences. Me not asking; "what could possibly go wrong." That sort of stuff.
Well sure nough, I made the tactical error of what was supposed to be a practical joke in class one day, and in an attempt to get a laugh in class didn't go well in the slightest. It went South, and it went South fast.
Instantly I felt like crap, and instantly I wanted to take it back. But like Daddy said, "you can't unscramble a scrambled egg." Or, "when you jumped off the porch, you're off the porch."
I can ever say I'm sorry enough to Mr. Jack. He is a good man, and I was a punk that day.
