It's easy for us to be critical of others because we're immersed in selfishness. We want to be right, we want to be on top, we want to win, we want to be better than others, and we want to be perfect while pointing out the flaws in others.
Of this Jesus said, "1 Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."
(Matthew 7:1-5, NIV)
In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
