I had never heard the term until I read it here, however, it is what many of us know as: "we see what we want to see and we hear what we want to hear"

And this kind of behavior can definitely prevent us from looking at situations objectively. It can also, of course, influence the decisions we make and lead us to make poor choices.

From what I have read, "We all suffer from this confirmation bias, on one level or another. Even if we believe that we are open-minded and observe the facts as impartially as possible before reaching conclusions, it is very likely that even so, some kind of bias will shape our final opinion. It is very difficult to combat this natural tendency.

Could it be the reason for wars?
