What is the best excuse you have heard lately? The best excuse I heard lately came from someone who was caught lying. In conversation it went like this: Questioner: “I was called out for lying, and I replied, ‘You didn’t tell me I wasn’t supposed to lie.’ Was I wrong to answer like that?” My Response: “It was witty, but not right. With that excuse, you lose the chance for your next lie.” This shows how excuses can be clever in form but hollow in meaning. They may amuse the listener, yet they expose the weakness of avoiding truth. Excuses may sparkle with wit, but they weaken the light of truth. 🌝 (Image source: Pixabay.)
