You can't handle the truth

I am told that this quote came from a movie. I don’t know, I didn’t see it. What I do know is that it is on my list of ridiculous statements. That list consist of

1. Don’t hate the player hate the game
2. I am just keeping it real
3. You can’t handle the truth.

People use these quotes to excuse their bad behavior. What people are saying when they use this statement is that they don’t want to deal with the consequences of their actions. It is easier to say I didn’t tell you because you can’t handle the truth. Instead of being truthful and allowing the person to process the information and react to it. What they are saying is I expect your reaction to be negative so I will hide my bad behavior.

I do know that people make many bad decisions, in life that includes women as well as men, which we do not want to admit to. However, hiding behind BS lines like this is unacceptable. When you make a mistake especially when you are caught dead on, confess. Humble yourself and apologize.
