Self-Illusion and Harmful Self-Illusions
As human beings, we often hold illusions about ourselves, thinking that we are smarter, stronger, or more kind than we actually are. While some self-illusions may be harmless, others can be damaging, causing us to act in ways that hurt others without realizing it. The most significant self-illusion is believing that our experience of the world is the only correct one. Understanding that our perception of reality is subjective allows us to be more compassionate and understanding towards people who see the world differently than we do.
