Do not look at the sins of others, but look at your evil deeds; for you will not be judged for the first, but you will surely give an answer for yourself. – St. Demetrius of Rostov

Sometimes I read something and in my soul it just seems so true. So right. It is resonance with my very being. This is one of those sayings. How much I want to remove that speck of dust in my brother’s or sister’s eye. But I just can’t see clearly enough to remove it with precision – that gigantic tree in my own eye keeps blocking my view.
