Man tries to justify whatever he does. If he boozes, he claims that it is the right thing to do and enumerates its merits. If he womanizes, he has even more reasons to justify himself and prove that he is doing things more rightly than anybody else. If he is corrupt and takes bribes, he proves with his ill gotten wealth, how money can speak clearly and loudly for him. If he is born outside wedlock, he tries his best to justify and propagate it, than to consider it as unfortunate.

But one thing that we seem to forget is that a wrong thing done or repeated or voted in favor by a hundred thousand people will not make it right. But it is the ordinary man's tendency to justify his actions with the knowledge and resources that he has.

How many of us can look at the event, detached from it, and honestly admit that a certain thing was a mistake without justifying it? How many of us can humbly say that it is my weakness that is making me do a wrong thing rather than justify it?

Ever since Jesus Christ's teaching, "Let the one who has not sinned, stone" was misinterpreted, man has lost his freedom to make mistakes. If he makes a mistake then he loses his eligibility to take the speck out his brother's eye (with or without the log in his own) and this is slowly turning the whole world blind.

That somebody else is wrong, cannot be a justification for our wrongs. The actual truth is that both are wrong. That some Muslims are fanatic in one way cannot justify the West being fanatic in another way.

This viewing of things, detached from the event, is the "Detached from the Event Theory".
