In last post, I stated that we need valid, acceptable excuses to initiate any kind of relationship among ourselves. Following this, I pose now that the toughest excuses one makes are those made to oneself.
Everything you see, feel, hear around you triggers the question, why? Or maybe how? People by nature are curious and always need to know the answer to these questions. That's why we've got things like religion, laws and regulations, expert opinions, televised talk shows and so on.
Thing is, it is delusional to say that the answer to these questions is the unequivocal truth. It is more like an excuse, an acceptable explanation that placates your wonder and amazement. It is a deal you make with yourself to satisfy your mood.
How acceptable such an excuse is, is really a matter of circumstance. Whether or not you make a career change, totally depends on how you justify it for yourself. You can essentially explain it both ways. Whether or not you believe in the WTC conspiracies, depends on which way you are inclined to see the situation. If you make enough excuses, you can basically justify everything there is to know.
And herein lies our biggest battle. In our search for the answers, we strive to reach the truth totally and utterly. The only way we know how to reach the answers is to agree on theories, concepts, ideas, rumours, opinions, moods, fitness, or laws. Each excuse draws us further from the truth. The very means of getting us forward, pulls us backwards instead.

That's quite a statement you're making there... But I must agree! What's my excuse for that? Hmmm... ;)
