Give me a reason (to give you a reason)

The subject of this entry shall be the fact that I have realized giving reasons or excuses for something I have done or shall be doing is futile. For that matter also something I have not done or do not want to do should be treated the same. Although I might move off subject for this subject alone may not be enough to meet my satisfaction as a complete entry. With that said, we can now move on to the logical process that has brought me to this conclusion. The fact is that this ties in to the very idea that nothing matters, a bit of nihilistic behavior. So I do not do my assignment for class and the minute I decide to not do my assignment I have accepted that I am ok with the consequences. There for when the teacher is asking for the assignment there is no reason for me to give him or her reasons why I couldn’t accomplish what was asked of me. Even if the end result should be an extension on the due date I do not feel that it is the right thing. Why in fact, say anything. It should be very simple, since I have not done my work I will just not turn it in and in turn get the grade I should, that’s to say that sometimes even if you do give reasons why you did not turn in your work you will still not be able to fix it. This does not just go for school situations; it could also apply to other everyday life events. Say I missed a day of work, do I need to tell my boss why or can I just say “sorry I wasn’t here yesterday”. I understand it does not justify the situation but does it have to? It’s a little crazy because we have learned that we must always give a reason and also usually demand one if the situation calls for it. It is not logically pointless because I guess we need to make sense of everything, but my point is that it is unimportant why what matters is the issue.
