Because I Can

This something i struggle with truly and im wondering it if holds true for others as well. Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you had to explain your actions. The “why did you do it?” And literally the only answer you had was “Because I could!” “Because the opportunity presented itself and I took it”. Nothing more. There was no accumulation of planning. Or aspiration. No wish fulfilment ie something you been wanting to do. No. Just because you could.

There was a guy in my high school that used to say that when ever he was in trouble and it stuck with me. Over the past decade i have found myself in many situation where that was the best answer. But only because explaining the train of thought and events that lead up to this moment would take too long.

I have not really experienced this. I have a bad habit of trying to explain how I arrived at a bad decision. Not as a way to excuse it but to establish that it seemed rational at the time and that I am neither an idiot or cruel. I don't know why i care so much that i don't want people to think those things of me, but I do.

@ViciDraco I do that too. But there are just situations where i really dont know why I did the stupid thing. And yes it seemed rational at the time but why i dont even know.
