"We are so quick to point out our own flaws in others." Isn't that the truth? We are continuously passing judgment on people without realizing we may have those same flaws. There are endless quotes about passing judgment.Quotes which tell us to not judge people because every one has their own story, we never know a person's path and that WE ourselves are never perfect. Who are we to look at a person and make the assumption that they are not a good person or that they are imperfect compared to ourselves? It is understood, when a person does something of bad character (steals, kills,rapes,molests etc) we find many of those things unacceptable and wrong; but when a person is wearing the not so popular clothes,not driving that nice car or not speaking with the proper vocabulary we are quick to judge their character. When people suffer from addiction and mental illnesses, we make the assumption that they have a bad character. As my blogs have said before, we are taking our journey and some may be walking on that sandy beach but some may be walking up the Himalayas. We are never offered the same paths, we do however, make our own choices given the circumstances. Understand a person's circumstance and expect the same in return.
“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” ~ Carl Gustav; instead of judgment, take a person's flaws to understand your own.
