People Don't Criticize Themselves

Many individuals, including notorious criminals and successful businesspeople, often attempt to justify their anti-social acts or overlook their own faults. Even well-known figures like John Wanamaker admitted that scolding is foolish and that people rarely criticize themselves for their wrongdoings. This insight suggests that most people tend to avoid blaming themselves and instead find ways to rationalize their behaviors, thereby highlighting the human tendency to overlook personal faults.
