We tend to behave or explain ourselves in ways that align with the goals we want to achieve. Our "self-explanations" are meant to achieve our objectives by attributing causes to other things, making ourselves feel at ease and believing that everything is still manageable. In fact, these are just "life lies" we tell ourselves one after another.
