Judging
Stop judging that you may not be judged. (Matthew 7:1)
This is very applicable in our everyday lives. Often enough, judging is part of our daily conversation.. a gossip is already a judging.....hw many times do we actually need to remove the log in our eyes before we can see the splinter in others? have we not realize our own faults before blaming it on others (although they may be equally at fault too)...yes. it is a very challenging and difficult thing to do or practice, but it is not impossible...
Besides that, prejudice and perceptions and also the past of a person, causes us to judge them. and because of that, we always choose to see them on one angle, and forgetting the fact that there is always two sides of a story...if only we choose to listen, and not just hear... we always just hear with our ears, but we fail to listen with our hearts and mind as well, and because of that, many miscommunication and misunderstanding occurs. it always lead us to see their fault, although it may just be a little nitty kritty fault, compared to the good that they are actually implying on....
well well well...thats just life i guess. another challenging phase in this ugly truthful world. if only we choose to listen and accept who we are and our faults, can we stop judging the people around us. God bless us all =)
