People often make excuses and cover up something, but it's not actually true. So, why make excuses?
Women can't afford to buy clothes, never say they can't afford them, but say they don't look good. Find an excuse to cover up the past, there is no need to say that you don't have enough money, and there is no need to say that you don't make much money. An excuse can make people get out of an awkward situation, become relaxed, and even noble. If someone receives an invitation from someone but doesn't want to go, they have to make an excuse and say that they can't go because of something, or that they can't go because they are sick. When someone goes to a banquet and wants to drink, they make all kinds of excuses, either they have taken cold medicine, or they have been bitten by dogs, they have been vaccinated against rabies, and some say that they have heart disease and cannot drink. They all made excuses, but they were all justified, but in the end they couldn't help but persuade, and they still drank, and even got drunk and unconscious.
The excuses are said casually, and some are still pre-set, just borrowed temporarily. It's like a mask, after being put on temporarily, it becomes a kind of disguise, and the real self hides behind the mask to get some benefits. In fact, the excuse is to lie, which does not match the reality. From an early age, children will make excuses to avoid going to school, and they will excuse themselves with headaches;In order to evade responsibility, it is necessary to say that the bad thing was done by someone else, or that the kitten and puppy did it. In the long run, it will form a Xi of making excuses. When the child grows into an adult, he will continue to make excuses, continue to lie, and come as soon as he opens his mouth, without concealment at all, and even speaks as if it is true, with a strong voice, and has deceived many people.
Excuses don't match reality, but excuses are easier for people to use, and not actually is not what people like. As soon as something bad happens, there are all sorts of excuses. In the event of a flood disaster, it is said that it is raining too much, which is an excuse, not a lack of man-made prevention;In the case of a natural gas pipeline incident, it is said that the chef is not operating properly, and it is not a problem with safety inspections. Whenever something goes wrong, there are always excuses, and it's never the responsibility of the regulators, it's someone else's responsibility, or the weather. As a result, excuses become something that can be used to escape responsibility, and it is very ingenious, easy to mislead the public, and even easy to produce a crowd of emotions.
Once the power of the group is used, the excuse is used to harm the collective, which will have a great effect. Under the pretext of harming the collective, the cause, and development, it is possible to organize a large number of people to launch a criticism and struggle, to put some so-called hostile elements on trial, and even to restrict their freedom and deprive them of their lives. A big excuse is a big lie, but it has never been questioned. If it does not match the facts, it will not be doubted, or even if someone doubts, it will not be openly explained, and it will not be communicated with others, but it will be hidden in the heart, waiting for the excuse to disappear. If the excuse is not punctured, but continues to develop as it has always been, it will become a norm and something that people will default to. Many peasant uprisings found excuses to quickly build up faith with the help of the so-called divine power, and demanded that people believe in it and rule people through theocracy. In other words, the leader of the peasant rebel army had to be able to "communicate with the gods" and often "séance" and gain a certain degree of authority through the mouths of the "gods". Together with the emperor, they all did this, they wanted to use the way of heaven to talk about things, and they also said that they were the true dragon emperors, but in fact, they were all excuses, not reality.
Excuses can make people move in and out freely, and they can do whatever they want to do, without making excuses;If you don't want to do it, make excuses and don't do it. No matter how good the excuse is, management can still make people do what they want, and don't do what they don't want to do. However, excuses are limited to people who are equal to or inferior to their own social status, and they cannot make excuses to their superiors. Because superiors need subordinates who are absolutely obedient, not subordinates who make excuses and perfunctory. Even if something happens, the subordinate can't make excuses and has the courage to take responsibility, while the superior can find all kinds of excuses to avoid responsibility, and of course, he can also let the subordinate take responsibility, but he won't take the initiative to take responsibility. This is especially true of secretaries who write articles, who will write some glamorous things, and also find various excuses to cover up mistakes and shortcomings, and create a harmonious and stable environment. In this way, people will follow the Xi of being an official and learn to find all kinds of clever excuses.
It's not that people like to make excuses, it's that they unconsciously learn to make excuses. Because making excuses is lying in itself, and lying for the first time can easily generate a large psychological outlay, but without discovering any serious consequences, on the contrary, some benefits are obtained. As a result, people have been psychologically strengthened, and they will continue to find all kinds of excuses, and when they see that some powerful people like to make excuses, they will also learn to find some high-level high-sounding excuses in order to deceive many people.
Excuses don't match reality, but people prefer to make excuses rather than tell the truth. Speaking of lofty ideals is like painting a pie, which cannot be realized, but inspires people to work hard. However, excuses are excuses, and they will eventually be exposed by reality, but as long as you keep making excuses, keep drawing big pies, and keep encouraging people to do something, you can continue to make money and achieve a certain goal. Always understand that excuses are not practical, but they are used by many people. Is it the excuse itself, or is there something wrong with human nature?
Perhaps, people have never pursued pragmatism, and the so-called pursuit of pragmatism is also an excuse, just for the sake of fame and fortune......
