“Emotions tend to narrow the mind, making us focus on one or two ideas that satisfy our immediate desire for power or attention, ideas that usually backfire.

“The Blame Bias I learn from my experience and mistakes. Mistakes and failures elicit the need to explain. We want to learn the lesson and not repeat the experience.

The reason for this bias is that it is often too painful to look at our mistakes.”
― Robert Greene, The Laws of Human Nature
