As I was listening to the radio the other day, one of the people that called in was bragging about how stupid she was as a 20 year old. She talked about sleeping around, trying every drug in the book, and how many guys she slept with. She said it was her "stupid stage" and that everyone went through it when they turn 20. That was the lamest excuse I had ever heard.
As a 21 year old I don't feel that I ever went through a stupid stage. I made plenty of mistakes but I certainty don't brag about them on public radio. So why do people make up the excuses?
Personally I feel that as humans, it is hard for us to admit our faults. I will be the first one to say that I have an extremely hard time admitting my wrongs. Instead of admitting our faults, we find excuses. Why do we believe that these excuses are ok?
As a human, we find every way we can to be right. No two people believe in the exact same things. Whether it is politics, religion, or simply how to raise a child, there will always be a problem. Our problems turn into our mistakes, which then turns into our excuse.
When we finally admit we were wrong, we won't have to blame our "stupid stage" for what we did. The only person to blame is us. We are to blame.
So, what is next? The simplest advice: Admit your faults. I truly believe some of the wisest people I know are the ones that will admit their wrongs. The sooner you do it, the better you will feel in the long run. No matter how old you are, don't find yourself stuck in a "stupid stage".
