The sickly vanity, boasting and arrogance

Crisanto Gregorio León

 Excuse not demanded, manifest guilt. This aphorism is reflected in the Latin expression "Excusatio non petita, accusatio manifesto". And that lawyers are so familiar to hear the clarifications that turn against their owner or owner. It exposes the guilty person when he gives explanations and arguments about what he has not been asked to clarify or about which he has not been asked for any justification.

You did it, no one asked you to give the reasons, everything was in evidence, and yet you insist on proving that you are not guilty and the affected are not interested in explaining yourself. Then why do you insist on presenting loopholes?

But there is so much evidence of your guilt that you rush impulsively to say I was not! Do not say that you are dark, as you argue the most embarras. Even the ingenuity to listen to you by force, forcing others to witness your explanations and sticking your rhetoric.

There are those who insist on giving explanations to dispel their guilt, which is flagrant. While others do not want to dissipate their guilt but to rule over their own felony, not to feel guilty of what they have done or said, because conceit and arrogance have their soul imprisoned. Guilt is not a cause of grief, but of boasting and arrogance; because there has been no fault but bad intentions. It is as if they say so, - I did it I am guilty and what? - but I do not assume guilt, on the contrary I rejoice in it.

I remember the popular songs of Spain, which were not because they were the cause of another's sorrow, but of the own guilt that the soul eats and sentenced equally the gauchos "nobody discovers his breast to give relief to his grief, that the one that his chest discovers , by his mouth is condemned. "

Only the punishments of some people are embarrassments because they feel uncovered of what they have always done low profile breaking all moral or ethical standards, social uses, religion or law, and worse still against life that charges everything sooner or later and then in the face of such an awareness of his own conscience as his play is exposed; decide to openly persecute the innocent, making them victims, arguing for an ephemeral and circumstantial power, which is only vanity and sickly position. This is the cause of those who insist on giving explanations to those who do not want to hear them and do not even ask for them. Because when you light up you get dark. And in the hands of this triumvirate, vanity, boasting and arrogance are washed conscience.
