The Good and the Bad in Us...........

We need some one to tell us our defects and shortcomings....we need fraternal corrections when we go wrong...when others do the corrections in a fraternal way then it yields fruits of conversion and a lasting change in a corrected person. No one should get angry who so and so corrects me. We all have good and bad in us, vices and virtues in us....but it is no good to always point out at others saying that they are always bad and we are always good. we are Hypocrites. we need to have these good people around us to correct and show us the right path.... Unhappily there are far too few of us who are genuinely willing to accept an honest critique - even from superiors whether they be teacher or employer or parent or whoever. Should they criticize us, we immediately accuse them of having an attitude problem. 


We all make mistakes in our lives, in our work place, but we always see the mistake of the others and try to cover up our own defects and weakness.  It happens in our institutions where people work under us are always subjected to undue and undeserved criticism. Let us look at our own defects, see the log in my eyes before I see in other's eyes, I need to cure myself first before I go out to heal others.  

Willian Barclay said, there is so much bad in the best of us and so much good in the worst of us that it  ill becomes any of us to find fault with the rest of us.
  
Let us not go about criticizing but instead give compliments, with compliments miracles work and people reform and change.
 
If your friend does not correct you then employ an enemy to do so.....said our dear departed Novice Master Br. Remigius Sequiera......
 Have someone to monitor and watch you....they will irritate and offend you but at the end of the day they bring the best in us....
