Selfrighteous creates wars more often than other reasons.

Selfrighteous creates wars more often than other reasons.

Summary

This quote suggests that an excessive sense of self-righteousness is a significant factor in the occurrence of wars, if not the primary cause. When individuals or groups believe that their beliefs or actions are unquestionably correct or superior to those of others, they may resort to aggression and conflict in order to enforce their perceived righteousness. Self-righteousness often leads to a lack of empathy, tolerance, and understanding, which in turn creates divisions and escalates tensions, ultimately resulting in armed conflicts. Therefore, this quote warns of the dangers associated with unwavering self-righteousness in the context of generating conflicts and wars.
