Poor Excuses

"There's no question at times in my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate".

A famous politician explaining why he repeatedly cheated on his wives.

No, sir!! PATHETIC EXCUSE!! It was his passion for the country??! He was working too hard? Just a Baal Tyveh who decided not to control himself. Instead he portrays himself as a hero who was driven to act as he did because of his heroism. 

Lesson: If you make a mistake just admit it, apologize, think of ways to avoid it in the future and move on.

Don't lie, fudge it, blame other people or your circumstances or anything else. Just be a [wo]man, take responsibility and own up to your errors. That is the correct way. 

JEREMIAH:

וַתֹּאמְרִי כִּי נִקֵּיתִי אַךְ שָׁב אַפּוֹ מִמֶּנִּי הִנְנִי נִשְׁפָּט אוֹתָךְ עַל אָמְרֵךְ לֹא חָטָאתִי
