I'm really good at justifying things. Granted, I'm better at it when it's for my benefit. Still, I think I could pull it off for just about anything. So, if you need to justify something but can't quite come up with it, I'm your girl.
A couple of months ago a priest told me in the confessional that I was awfully hard on myself and that I needed to learn to love myself a little better. No offense to him, but I think it was a line. I'm pretty sure a good 90% of my sins are due to ego. I really do think highly of myself. Luckily I have great friends and family who put up with it (coincidentally, I also think that they are better than everybody else). And because God is better than me, my absolution that day in the confessional was still valid even though I thought I knew better than the priest. How can I not love myself? Even God thinks I'm hot stuff.
I can even justify my ego. ;)

Honesty! I love it! I also think that most of my sin is due to my over-inflated ego. It's shameful, really. And often I recognize it when it is happening. But, geez, sometimes I just can't stop myself...
