Question

Why does man give justifications even when is doing wrongs ? Does he really get satisfaction for it ?

Answer 1

People will do Anything to Keep from being Held Responsible for their own Behavior! Justification, rationalization, lying,etc... They do not want to feel Guilty and do their Best to Make the " Wrongs " that commit seem " Right ' to them and the rest of the world.

Answer 2

I don't think he gets satisfaction from justifying the wrong. I think the satisfaction only comes if he succeeds - i.e. if he is able to convince whomever he's trying to convince that the wrong was a "right".  

Answer 3

He's attempting to protect his ego from implied criticism.

If he knows he's done wrong, he will even defend when no-one attacks.

Answer 4

To justify a thing means that man does not see it as wrong. The difference between right and wrong are a matter of opinion. There can be no right or wrong.In an artificial world such as the one man has created, there are only differences in how we respond to every situation. So I am right and you are wrong is the philosophy.

Answer 5

Who knows if 'he' gets satisfaction from it.  

But we justify, because we think that OTHER people think that what we are doing is wrong.  Twisted.
