I think it is those very things that people are most sensitive to, and have the most violent reactions to, about other people, that are those things that we're most troubled by within ourselves. Because we're so directly able to relate to those things, we know how they manifest themselves and can see how disruptive/ distorted that way of thinking/ being affects everything around us, including our own thinking. It's maddening to me how BOTHERED I am by deception, especially of the deliberate sort. And OH am I deceptive! Insight into self. A worthy pursuit.
