Belief in a Just World Is Our Way of Staying Safe
Belief in a just world is when you see that something bad has happened to someone, your brain says that person must have deserved it. We don't want to think that this that such an experience could ever happen to us. It's safer for us to think they must have done something to deserve this. And interestingly, we are more critical of people who are similar to us and talk about how defective they are because again, it builds our wall of safety.
