Faults

The faults which we find in others are more or less the faults that we think, maybe subconsciously, we might possess too. It is just a reflection of what we think is wrong. Somewhere inside us we have a fear that we may be guilty of those faults as well.

When a child accuses other of stealing his candy, he feels that given an opportunity he might have done the same. When a husband accuses his wife of cheating, he fears that, given a chance, he would have, or already has, done the same.

It's only when we get rid of these fears ourselves, we rise above blaming and accusing others. Then only do we learn to accept people as they are and forgive. We realize we are one step closer to being content and happy.
