It was about the ways humans naturally perceive things in a way more exaggerated than they actually are, so when they respond in a degree they consider the same as what affected them, they're actually overreacting instinctively. it's some kind of natural defense. is there a name for this? i'd heard "disproportionate retaliation" and that's the more accurate term i've heard, but it;s not actually used to describe this phenomenon.
