Moment of weakness is defined as the instant of time when we choose to adopt a course of action that is contradictory to our set of moral premises and absolve our selves from bearing the responsibility of our actions or the guilt of committing such an act.
moment of weakness supposedly grants us the window to be as shallow as we can be,or was shallow as we want of be without having to bear the guilt or the responsibility of the shallow thoughts and actions.Moment of weakness grants us the opportunity to become all that we despise and still permits us to enjoy it .
Moment of weakness allows us to drop our moral premise and behave purely on the basis of blank thought porcess and guided only by emotions.
Moment of weakness will grant us closure and we will be able to carry on with other activities of life.
So one should be able to recogize the time when it is our moment of weakness and behae accoring to the rules we have set for such an occasion.There are no Rules.
But how is one suppose to identify this right now is a moment of weakness we are enduring.

Is moment of weakness the time A instant of time when one feels helpless and unarmed against all their up against.
The above can happen because of two possible reasons.Either you have begun to deteriorate or all that you are up against has become stronger.
In such a case on can be caught off guard because of one's inability to estimate and analyze the situation at hand and our inability to analyze oneself.
And thus one has to face defeat in such a situation.
And we fell weakened and lost at such times,at times when we are defeated.
This is still and honorable and rightful defeat where one is penalized for ones inability and lacking of skill and talent.And one has every right to experience weakness.
It leads to moment of depression,moments of guilt,moments of self pity,moments of anger,moments of self punishment and often it is a mixture of all such moments.But these are all valid emotional responses to the situation.
But none of the emotional responses allows one to adopt a course of action that is contradictory to our set of moral premises .So none of the above emotional reponse constitute a moment of weakness
Hence the emotional reponse to the state of mind when when one feels helpless and unarmed against all their up against does not constitute moment of weakness.

Is moment of weakness a time when when we feel tired and exhausted and need a break
If one is leading their life or atleast attemting to lead a course of live according to our set of moral premise.
one would be happy that they are oursuing right cource of action.
It one feels tired and exhausted leading their lives and need a break
It only means they have lost the enjoyment one used to obtain from such a life,and thus the desire of leading this life vanishes.
Such an situation gives rise to emotions of nostalgia,depression,self pity .It should leave one blank and wandering and struggling in the middle of nowhere,
If we lack the ability to pursue a further cource of action it should leave us stranded at a standstill a stalemate position with our life.
And we begin to question in self pity that what is the purpose of our life,what is the point of it all,kowing the answer still seeking some kind of assurance or
affirmation of one's exitance thought some one else.Thus such a moment just grants us self pity.
But this still does not consititue a moment of weakness,It still does not justify our inability to fell guilt inspite of commiting actions violating our moral premise.

There are many such occasions when one fells that all is lost and there is no point going on.
But none of these justify any emotional reponse that grants one a moral blank cheque.
No matter what the situation it does not grant us to pursure course of action that is contradictory to our set of moral premises and absolve our selves from bearing the responsibility of our actions or the guilt of committing such an act.No situation grants a moral blank cheque to be as shallow as we can be.

So if there are no events that can justify the our so called moments of weakness .
It leads to only one conclusion that so called moment of weakness is false,
it is a illusion we have created for ourself and world around us.
We are dropping all the moral premise we hold willingly during the undefined moments called mpments of weakness and in order not to fell the guilt and bear the responsibility of our actions at such times we create a illusion and a rule stating that during moments of weakness we are allowed to err and not fell guilt for are mistake,so we grant our selves a moral blank cheque at such instants.

So whenever our moral premise fails we declare that it has failed because it was our moment of weakness.Since moment of weakness is only defined in such terms.
SO one will never have the need accept guilt or responsibility,whenever on feels guilty or when the time comes to accept responsibility
we pretend to hide under the false cloak on invisiblity ,
we put on a act for our self and the entire world and declare that is our moment of weakness.

So infact moments of weakness are loopholes we have discovered or rather choose to create in our moral premise.
Because of existance of such loopholes we can pretend to be morally right and whenever we feel like abdicate from our moral responsiblity.

Moral premise is absolute in nature,it should be valid at all time under all circumstance.
Our Virtues are the Qualities we have aquired by following our moral premise.

One canot claim to be a true patriot at times of peace and when there is war hide unde the buker when your county is getting destory.I shows that you were pretending to be a patriot.
similarily if one endorses the concept of moment of weakness ,one is just pretending to be morally right,all the Virtues one thinke he has aquired
on account of his moral premise are false,since moral premise one thinks one posesses is false.
It is not worng for an individual to possess a moral blank cheque,On may do so out of blindness,foolishness,arrogance etc

To pretend and justify one's moral premise and at the same time commit actions that contradict the very same moral premise is unjustified.
Moment of Weakness is unjustified .
A individual can be weak and wrong,but one cannot escape this reality by creating a illusion of Moment Of Weakness.
