>people who try to justify bad actions by claiming they were in a bad situation/mood/whatever
Is there anything more revealing of man's inner weakness than this? I'm not talking about shit like "I killed a guy but only because my life was threatened" either.
I agree.

It's not weakness. It has nothing to do with "strength", but with ethics, and morals. They're not being "weak"; they're being how they are.

"How they are" is weak and unmanly.

But often they agree that what they did was wrong, but they try to justify it with the circumstances.
Don't be bad because you're in a bad situation.
Be good despite being in a bad situation.

What about pscyhosis? Mental illness because of tumor in your brain?
Still weakness?

We are talking about the majority, not the exceptions.
Besides, a person who does bad and thinks it's good is better than a person who does bad and knows it's bad.
What about people who try to justify the end by the means

I would say the opposite is true.
A man who kills and thinks he is doing good is more like to continue doing so than a man who kills and knows he is doing wrong.

Obviously, they're not "agreeing to it being wrong"; they're trying to rationalize it in "socially acceptable terms" for the others who are not like them. They're hypocritical, not remorseful.
