Quote of the Day – October 7 2012

“Is there a greater fault than being conscious of the other person’s faults?

If the other person laughs at you, you can pity him, but if you laugh at him you may never forgive yourself
If the other person injures you, you may forget the injury, but if you injure him you will always remember.
in truth the other person is your most sensitive self given another body”
–Kahlil Gibran

 

And yet we still criticize. Tho often the fact that we can recognize a fault in another also means that the fault lies at least in potential within us. Could that be the answer, so simple? To keep a notebook handy and track every thing we say about others to see how it leads back… That could work… tho for many of us it would lead to notebooks growing very full very quickly.. Hmmm that might not be a bad thing to see either…
Still I have learned much from friends pointing out blind spots, I learn from and consider each of them with gratitude… Occasionally I even find the courage and fortitude to work on them and so perhaps grow..
Blessings, G
