We all make mistakes, and when we “Own it”, we can make amends and move on.
Most of us were taught this from childhood, yet some of us haven’t learned it.
Starting in school, teachers never really bought that our dog ate our homework, and that a note from our parents was the only thing that excused our absences – not our excuses.
Later on in school, teachers really didn’t care if you showed up or not, and assessed you accordingly, along with your grades, and not excuses for not doing the work assigned.
That’s why we have laws, to dictate the way we act and behave in public, and law, police and courts don’t account for excuses.
So why do some attempt to make excuses for things in their lives instead of “owning them”? Don’t really know.
