Excuses Excuses

It's amazing how people use so many excuses these days. A prime example of this was about 2 weeks ago when Jamie Whincup accused traffic for a crash when effectively there was no-one else around him. He obviously didn't want to take ownership for a very rookie mistake.

You don't have to look far to find excuses being used elsewhere. Almost every movie you see around nowadays uses at least one excuse. excuses for not going somewhere, excuses to go somewhere and sometimes excuses just for the strange reason of making excuses.

I know I use excuses everyday. Sometimes just to make a joke, sometimes complaining. eg. Why should I have to do the dishes, she didn't do them last time. Sometimes excuses go to far and become blame. And blame is a bad thing. It is impossible in a sinful world to cut excuses out of life completely. But what we can do is try and take responsibility for our mistakes. For without them, we can't learn from them.
