They are many, they are everywhere. Always weighting you down, obscuring sight of what lies beyond, introducing doubt and harmful self-assurance in your mind.

Sometimes it seems as if they could be justified, but it’s always dangerous to deal with them, you get used to it and when you realize it, a small oneshot of a deal transforms into a symbiotic co-dependence, or maybe I should say, parasitic co-dependence?, that feels more appropriate.

You see them, you feel them. The seemingly safe passage through a bitter episode or a nasty conflict. The immediate reward of being forgiven. But everything has its price.

When you use an excuse, you are hiding yourself from the possibility of getting better, because the first step to truly correct a mistake, to repair a failure, is to admit it, recognize it. Then, the betterment begins.
