Believing oneself to be inherently good without questioning moral boundaries can lead to dangerous consequences. This mindset may result in individuals justifying heinous actions, as they mistakenly think they are doing the right thing. An objective examination of past horrors reveals a disconnect where wrongdoings are overlooked or accepted due to a lack of vigilance or intervention by others. Awareness of gradual moral decline, or creeping tyranny, is crucial to prevent such situations from escalating, emphasizing the importance of critical self-reflection and ethical vigilance.
