For the most part everything in life either is something or it isn't. There is always a simple answer to something, but people seem to need an explanation as to why. Why? Because they are too stupid to see the reason or they just refuse to believe it is that simple. People always feel the need to provide an excuse for a situation or some sort of reasoning, but it all comes down to the same outcome. It's how the justice department handles most things, you're either guilty or your not. They don't really care why you did something, just more or less if you did it.
People who make excuses a lot are destined to be failures and I firmly believe that. Those who think great of themselves and put their best foot forward do not need to reason with those that do not understand.
Are you an excuse-a-holic? I'm sure we at least all know one. If you find yourself making certain excuses for certain things - vices, working out, eating, being lazy, crappy work ethic or just being a bad person - then cut the crap or just accept it and stop excusing yourself.
