They must often change who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.
It is impossibly to live happily when your life is defined by a mistake.
Yet this is how it goes, always.
We are remembered for the totality of our accomplishments, but we are defined by the singularity of our greatest failure. It does not matter what you have been right about, and it does not matter how often that rightness is validated by others. We are what we cannot do.
