day no. 14,672: men do not make excuses, they take responsibility

Men do not make excuses, they take responsibility.

The left fielder drops a routine pop fly, but... 

"the sun was in my eyes"
"the sunglasses you bought me kept slipping off my ears"
"someone honked their horn in the parking lot"
"my shoe laces came undone because you never taught me how"
"I was tired because you woke me up early this morning"

instead of,

"I dropped the ball. It was my responsibility to catch pop flies that came into left field."

Saving face is a sin that goes all the way back to Adam. "The woman You gave me," is our default rather than, "It was my responsibility to radah and kabash, and I dropped the ball."
