This is a circular annual discussion.
A cynic might suggest that by condemning others we feel more secure in ourselves. "I would never do that"...."yeah, right"
I would prefer though that it leaves us feeling more vulnerable, more less perfect, and more likely that we could make the same mistake. That way we remain alert to our our imperfections, and in the absence of absolute vigilance we could quite easily make the same terrible mistake.
