Panhibay-anan nila, amo da sab
sin-o! There are people who judge you through the
things they see and hear about you. But they do not know where you come from. They
are unaware of your value systems and most of the time, they are so busy
looking for the mistakes of others they forget to look into their own
weaknesses.
"How
easy it is to criticize others," Pope Francis said. "There are some
people who seem to have a degree in tattling, criticizing others every day.
Hey, look in the mirror" and reflect on one's own weaknesses and
fragility.
Some
common synonyms of faultfinding are captious, carping, censorious, critical,
and hypercritical. While all these words mean "inclined to look for and
point out faults and defects," faultfinding implies a querulous or
exacting temperament. a faultfinding reviewer.
Yet,
Psychology is telling us that these people are actually projecting their faults
to others so they won’t have the time looking into their pathetic selves. They
like to look for other’s flaws since they know deep inside that they are also
flawed and have errors of their own.
The
self-righteous and smug thoughts that can provide a fleeting emotional boost,
don’t lead to happiness.
According
to Watson (2021): In essence we become intolerant of the weaknesses of others,
in turn distorting the way we may view our own faults. From time to time I
think we can all be a little prone to look at the weaknesses, limitations and
failings of others.
The
world is vast. We can change it through the spaces IN us. We have to start
changing our own ways so to create a ripple of goodness to the greater space
around us.
For
those who constantly peer into others’ lives, let us gift them with mirrors.
Better, let us surround them with everything that gives them clear reflections
of themselves.
