It seems some people are constantly looking for faults in others—especially in a person or a specific group of people—and take immense pleasure in criticizing them.
They regularly pass judgment, yet the moment someone holds up a mirror to them, everything changes.
When told that they, too, are guilty of the same behavior, they become upset, furious, and ready to wage a war.
They do not want anyone to hurt their feelings or question their beliefs - yet they consider criticizing others and hurting their sentiments to be their constitutional right and privilege. What hypocrisy!
Before we hurt someone—before we criticize and wound their feelings—we must reflect on our own thoughts, words, and actions.
At every step in life, we should ask ourselves: If others treated me the way I treat them, if they used the same words for me that I use for them, how would I feel?
The truth is that our thoughts, words, and actions determine our destiny.
It is easy to find faults in others—criticizing and condemning is not difficult; anyone can do it. But when we focus only on the flaws of others, we build a wall that blinds us to their goodness.
The real test of wisdom is the ability to recognize our own faults - not others.
Those who constantly reflect on their shortcomings and appreciate the virtues in others attain success—not only in worldly life but on the spiritual path as well.
Therefore, we should treat others the way we wish to be treated ourselves.
