As long as I was unaware of my own condition, I kept observing the faults and virtues of others; but when my gaze fell upon my own flaws, no one appeared bad to me anymore.
This sher touches on a profound, humbling moment of self-awareness. So long as we stay oblivious to our own faults, it is remarkably easy to sit back and judge the virtues and vices of those around us. Yet the moment the mirror turns inward and we truly confront our own weaknesses, all self-righteousness dissolves, leaving behind only empathy and grace for the rest of the world.
