Two wrongs don't make a right, but they make a good excuse.


Two wrongs don't make a right, but they make a good excuse.

Summary

This quote suggests that although it is understood that two wrongs do not correct or justify each other, people often use the presence of one wrongdoing as a convenient excuse for another. It implies that instead of taking responsibility for their actions and finding ways to rectify them, some individuals may be inclined to justify their behavior by pointing fingers at others who have also made mistakes. Ultimately, this quote highlights the tendency of using excuses as a means to evade accountability rather than seeking true resolutions.
