I can't tell you, how many people I've ran into, talked to on the Internet, read their life stories, watch their biographies and still come to the conclusion that most people can't justify, just about any action in their life. Anything that they have done, whether it be good or bad can be justified to benefit them in one way or another and sometimes cause harm to others.
I knew three people and used them for mental experiments. I'm not some evil Dr., but these three people had similarities and seemed to make the same choices on a regular basis. They would rarely accept blame for something that they did that was wrong. But often wouldn't let you forget about something that you accepted the blame for. Confusing, but I was dealing with all three of these people on a regular basis for about three years.
At this point in my life I don't deal with one of them at all, he justified one of his poor choices, for the last time. The two other people will remain nameless but remain in my life and there's a good chance that they will be justifying their negative comments, poor choices and bad influences for a while.
Each one of them was selfish, in their own way. They often did things that would benefit themselves, while making it sound like they were doing you a favor or it was creating a hardship for them. Their selfishness would often lead to poor choices and get them into trouble on a regular basis. Their problems impacted my life in a negative way and left me to make choices that I was rarely happy about.
Each one of them was extremely friendly. These people would light up a room and everyone they met loved them. Most of their close friends though and family members, feared them and often tried to avoid spending time with them if it was possible. The oldest one out of the group had spent many years creating his own problems and seemed to have few friends.
You probably know someone like this and if you don't, I hope you never have to deal with this personality. The more these people seem to justify their lives to other people, the more miserable they become. They seem to spend a lot of time changing the bad parts about their past and trying to paint a better picture of who they wanted to be. On the outside, they seem to be happy but on the inside their guilt from poor choices have added unwanted stress into their lives. Often these people will look older than their age from the guilt and stress that is bound up inside of them.
There is something to be said about living a life of honesty with integrity. Most of these people are happy and seem to have very little stress in their lives. There's a reason for this and they figured it out.
