It is a copout. But, the next step is realizing that this is one way people prevent change from occurring, change is uncomfortable and scary. I don't think it's particularly empathetic to get upset at people's common thought processes, even when they are bad. Try to remember we're all humans and life is hard and everyone is already trying. Also keep in mind that the person saying it may mean it more as flattery - i.e., it may be a polite lie and they don't really think that. And of course, "I'm not smart enough to do that" is more polite to say than "that sounds boring and I'm super not interested". |
