Plank...not splint in the eye!

I remember this parable from the bible about how one person was pointing to the splint in the eyes of another yet failed to notice the plank in his own eye. I have a very good friend who has thought me to always judge myself first of the mistakes that I have made then to actually blame someone else. It was a very good lesson...learning to look at oneself than at others' mistakes.

I feel saddened to know of people who continuously state one thing yet does another. There are some so blind to their own mistakes that they do not even see others around them who are affected by it. However, I do not know what to do with people like that. Seriously, I guess I believe that is not my problem. But sometimes I remembered those times my good friend warned me about the horror things I did and stopped me in time to make ammends....so should I do the same? As 'the better than thou' attitude comes about...do they not see the people affected by it?

Life is all a learning process.....I guess we slowly have to take the short steps to improvement. But the first step for that....is knowing that we should improve!!! So, look into our hearts and find what is wrong. Appreciate what you have...and learn not to judge too much. It was never our duty to do so in the first place.....
