Have you ever wondered why someone would do such a horrible thing? We often hear stories with a bias attached to them.

Everyone is guilty of being selfish from time to time. Sometimes it’s okay and the offense is only minor. Other times, however, the offense is a very big deal. Take speeding for instance.
