Psychology of Moral Failure

Understanding this cognitive bias reveals why even well-meaning people get locked in conflict. We tend to believe we see the world objectively, a brain function called naïve realism.

It explains why we can feel so righteous in an argument, while unknowingly escalating the situation because the other person feels the exact same way.
