  • Reasons are explanations for actions. Eg. “The reason I was late turning in my homework is that I had to got to the hospital”.

    Excuses are explanations for actions (aka reasons) that are not socially justifiable. Eg. “The reason I was late turning in my homework is that my friends invited me out for drinks”.

    The hard part is that jackasses will view even valid reasons as excuses, because to them any factors negatively impacting you are not more important than the end result being achieved.

    Look to history. We’ve had two. Look at the words explaining the necessity of independence in the declaration of independence. Those were not hollow words but detailed a long series of abuses. Then look to the causes of the Civil War. A perfidious institution anathematic to the very core ideal of the nation, that all men are created equal.

    Our times doubtless have our problems but the do not meet nearly the standard set in the past.
