"Los hombres son más morales de lo que piensan y mucho más inmorales de lo que pueden imaginar."
— Sigmund Freud

Simplified Meaning:
People think of themselves as being better than they actually are but can also do things worse than they believe they could. For example, someone may see themselves as honest and kind. However, when faced with a tough situation, that person might lie or act selfishly in ways they never expected. It's like when people judge others for mistakes but then find themselves doing the same things when put under pressure. This idea shows that everyone has good and bad sides. Understanding this can help us be more forgiving of others and ourselves because nobody is perfect. Recognizing this dual nature can make us more thoughtful about our choices and actions in everyday life.
