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?

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. I love China

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..
