"Excuses" and "Explanation"

A bit confused always about the two words written with the fifth letter "E"!!
Life is full of situations where we have to act..act smartly... perform better... improve daily..

Everyday life is full of interaction with people.
Return>>a ton of questions... in multiple disciplines... technical, personal, humorous blah blah blah... and it demands I have to think and reason it.. How can I do that?

Well there may be two choices I have: I can think of "excuses"... thousands of tons of them...
In lieu I can think of one best "Explanation"... one best!!
Several times such situation comes.. I take it. Sometimes It comes in advance "what I have to do"? Sometimes it comes later "what I did"? Excuses or explanation? No answer. Not before not later!! Sometimes later it comes "why do I worry" Situation is over...

Now what's the difference?

One involves emotions, quite defensive, guilty, a bit selfish too...

Other gives confidence, quite comprehensive and naturally convincing.

If someone doesn't understand there must have been something wrong with my words. I might have taken it in the direction of excuse. Once it got the way I might have searched for another excuse to support former and so on.. then into an emotional ocean... obviously not convincing...

Why? Because there is always only "one best explanation" to a situation.
Just to interpret a psychological research study It needs only innocence and a bit of knowledge to "explain", but to excuse, a lot of traits is to be mastered. That's why I guess it's simple!!! Try it...
