Unethical amnesia

Unethical amnesia is the tendency to forget the dishonest actions we commit, or to remember them in a blurred or very limited way. While we remember the immoral actions of others with precision, we tend to remember our own similar actions less easily.[1] This phenomenon is thought to help maintain self-esteem and limit bad conscience or fear of punishment.[2][3] The phenomenon has been studied by Harvard University in the US, and by the CNRS in France.
