For everyone makes mistakes. But the real evil occurs when people dig in to justify their mistakes.
Rav Nahman has this idea that it is good to look for the hints in events. But not always. For there is such a thing as obstacles for a mitzvah.
So to fight self justification the best thing is to look at when actual events showed you that you were wrong about some decision.
Why to fight self justification? Because it is not good to justify doing evil. So when you wrong the best idea is to repent on it instead of justifying it.
But how can you actually tell when your decisions were wrong? By events.
