Certainly, the mistakes that we male and female mortals make

Summary

This quote implies that even though we humans often make mistakes when left to our own devices, it is curious that we still have a strong inclination to pursue our own desires and choices. Despite the errors and misjudgments we make, we continue to be attached to the concept of independence and individual decision-making, without fully realizing the consequences that may arise from it. The quote emphasizes the paradoxical nature of human behavior, highlighting our tendency to cling to our own way of doing things despite its potential drawbacks.
