EXCUSES
I. Introduction
Excuse:
is the hope of being
forgiven. We
try to remove the blame from ourselves. We
give excuses when we get caught for something were not suppose to be
doing, or when
we can’t keep a promise. A
lot of times
we blame others and sometimes lie about it and remain on covering the
truth.
