To Err is Divine

In our school days, we used to have a sort of an assignment which was called "explain with reference to the context".
In those few paragraphs we use dto let our minds meander amongst self-created stories, lessons and drew conclusions on the referenced line provided.
Now there is this saying - "To Err is Human" with a small twist to the tail (pun intended) if I say "To Err is Divine" - is that wrong.
Let me begin by saying what is divine. It is still a concept created, propagated and preached by humans. So it can safely be presumed that whatever is divine must be inherently human is some way or the other. Taking for example : all human qualities are good things and are divine in that manner. Honesty is divine, truthfulness is and so on and so forth. But if we err, do we have to get a punishment for that matter or can we carry on with the notion that "Erring is Human and Divine".
To me it seems to err is human but to realise it, accept it and ready to make amends for them is divine. If we can stand up to our own faults and try and make ourselves better in those aspects, probably it will be divine.
However, if I am to ask the question : what drives us in this pursuit for divine-ness ?
do we have an answer ? We can see so many of the people pursuing divine-ness by killing others, many pursue notoriety, so isnt divine-ness also a matter of perspective ?
