What is an excuse?

Answer 1

Basic definition:

Something people use to remove the blame from them to make themselves look good.

Complex definition:

The reduction, expansion or distortion of 3 dynamic factors: perception, perspective and instance /distance (space-time continuum).

Example:

The concept (perception: constructed idea, not proven logic) of politics from an objective view (perspective: majority, not minority) highlights importance/negligence/relevance/ordinance (distortion of space-time: instance, distance, importance) of participation from citizens.
