Introspection is so much harder in practice. Because it's not just doing it and recognizing certain things about yourself but dealing with them too and maybe changing some things, which is so difficult for people to do when they're already in a set pattern of action or thinking.

I'm completely butchering the quote: "I just think it's better to have an idea than a belief. Beliefs are so much harder to change, people will die for them, kill for them."

So many people would rather stick with their set "truths" because it's comfortable than make changes and admit fault. And a big part of that is lying to yourself and ignoring stuff that's thrown in your face.

It's easier to blame others/outside sources than to hold yourself accountable for your actions. Though the latter, I think, bestows much more wisdom, maturity and happiness to a person.

"Blimey, those two can talk!"

We sure can! And a very pleasant conversation it is!
