Document Summary
We tend to self justify our own questionable behaviour. We come to genuinely believe the story we tell ourselves about what happened. Hilary clintons story about landing in a war zone. Them it re ects who we are they forced us to do it they were forced to do it it re ects who they are exp. the paris attacks. But when we bomb them its defence. Blameworthiness - the fact that we cant solve this is your fault because you are bad. Globality - cause of the bad thing is focused to that moment or its the same thing against you repeated. Intent - begins to push us towards seeing the other person as intending to hurt me. Focus - the place where the problem lies is with the other person. Sel shness - the other person is sel sh and are treating me like this because they are sel sh.
