Clarity
does not mean seeing others,
just
seeing oneself.
Acuity
does not mean hearing others,
just
hearing oneself.
Understanding
does not mean knowing others,
just
knowing oneself.
Accusing
others is not as good
as
accusing yourself.
Demanding
from others is not as good
as
demanding from yourself.
When
people bring up your flaws,
you
resent them for it;
but
when a mirror reflects your ugliness,
you
consider it a good mirror.
If
people can deal with others without
getting
the ego involved,
they
will avoid being dragged down.
