We excuse ourselves and accuse others…

Why do I minimalize my harmful habits?  “It’s no big deal. I can handle it.  It’s not a problem.”  Why do I pretend they are not as bad?  Why do I deny the truth?
Why do I excuse my bad behavior and choose to point an accusing finger at someone else?
One answer… flesh.  But what is that?  Do this… remove the h from flesh… now read it backwards and you have self.  When I keep focus on self I keep excusing and accusing… I keep minimalizing and vandalizing when I focus on self.  I need God to save me from myself.
