No offense (seriously), but isn't making excuses a symptom of laziness?

  I was describing the conclusion as lazy thinking.

  Is not walking to see friends on a whim because they live 90 minutes away (on foot), making excuses?

    One question I always struggle with is why don't I have more friends among my neighbors?
    • sliverstorm 13y ago
      Because we don't reach out to our neighbors the same way anymore, because they already have lives as do we. It's a self-reinforcing trend. I suspect the origin of the trend was, once we had the freedom to select friends out of a greater geographic region we happily did so, because there really is no guarantee the ten people living nearest to you are into the same things you are.

    Yes. If they really mattered to you then the odd sacrifice is not out of the question.

      We're not talking about whether you should visit your friends, but whether you would elect to walk...
