It's based on hypocrisy and self absorption; " let he who is guilt free cast the first stone upon another". We shall be judged by our own standards...... in all fairness.....just.

somechick: What about if someone points their thumb.



There's a rumour that if you blow on your thumb...it increases muscle mass...but I'm not sure how accurate or true that statement is.


I tried and didn't work. grin

In the OP's statement, yes, the obssesion with the bad behavior of others allows us to ignore the need for introspection - others are a diversion in a sense.

In your post constanza, In the story you cite, the stones were already cast, or about to be. The question was - were any of the accusers guilt free. I believe in that story, if memory serves, no stones were cast in the end.

As I recall it was a lesson about judgement was it not?

As soon as we cast a disparaging eye, we commit the same sin - often the very next day.

We think it elevates us, but the effect is the opposite. The more we love, the less the mistakes of others matter

love your post, Constanza.applause
