REASONS OR EXCUSES

What one person will call a reason another person will eagerly call it an excuse, but it's all a matter of perspective. Some people will justify their actions with excuses in order to deflect the blame from themselves onto someone else while others claim that their actions were inevitable which supports their chosen action. Reasons are given to explain your actions where excuses are your reasons to justify your mistakes usually with the wrong intent in mind. So whether those of you who are trying to convince someone that your actions are justified there is no convincing someone who has already pigeon-holed you. Those who aren't taking in anything you've got to say are only wasting your time so maybe spend less of your time with them and more time with someone who has an ear to your words. One important thing you should keep in mind is no amount of words will change the mind of someone who has already made up their mind on you, so stop wasting your words and your time on them.
