These are words from my friend who always defends his bad habbits:
Some of his greatest quotes(heard here and there):
" Drunk and drive causes 10% of all accidents, then 90% accidents happen because they are not drunk "..
" I always think smoking is bad for health, so I stopped thinking "...
This looks funny, but i dont understand one thing why do ppl become suicidal to themselves and become their own enemy but defending these foolish habbits?


smoking is injurious

Hi smart,
I know a lot of us defend our bad habits. I guess it is because when you become dependant on something so much you are in complete denial. Just a thought I dont know really.
Have a great day!
Trish

This happens because people are naturally defensive. No matter how foolish our choices are, we always have an excuse for ourselves, even when we know it is wrong. Some people think they are indispensible and they are able to do anything without any harm happening to them. Its not right, but its usually the reason why people do things without thinking about the consequences. Many people that smoke, know that it is bad for them, but they still do it. Some are addicted and cant stop, others are addicted and don't think they are addicted (are in denial), others just dont care. People want to do what they want to do. Its a destructable way of having their freedom.

Yes they are always defensive in whatever they, we all have to agree that sometimes even we do defend some of our mistakes, but we have to know its consequences.Thanks for responding.

When people don't want to change, they will have thousands of reasons to explain it. It's not easy to get rid of a bad habit. And it's harder for the weaker people who don't have the strong determination. One day they will know they are wrong, but it may be already too late. Sometimes we just can't afford to even one accident.

People are made of good and bad habits. In my opinion habits are bad when you think it is bad. Suppose for drinking lots of alcohol is bad for your health. I think it is bad drinking too much, so i drink occasionally.

So tell me am i defending my bad habits or becoming suicidal to myself? there is something that people do without thinking that their consequences because they love to do it.


myLot reputation of 83/100. smartx (161)   ranked 2,688 out of 25,718 in life  1 month ago

When you drink occasionally, you are actually not an addict to it,and yes its left to thoughts to decide and too much of anything is bad, even bad is defending it..thanks for responding.

People never understand the importance of their health, but they always defend their bad habits and will never give up ..

Yes you are right some people never change..Its a psycholgical factor that man always has a good defense for whatever he does and he also convinces his actions everytime ..And the solution is he himself has to now what is right for him despite all our efforts to rectify it..

self-defence mechanism is a human nature,i suppose.i think one can only advice,its upto the indivual to take it or not.
