Mirror, Mirror: The Untold Truth About Blame and Self-Change

People will always talk about:

  • how wrong others are
  • how right they themselves are.

Without thinking:

  • how much right others can be
  • how much wrong they themselves can be

In a world quick to judge and slow to introspect, we often find ourselves caught in the endless cycle of pointing fingers and assigning blame.

I remember a related story, when you have a bad breath even though your mouth is so near to your nose you never get to know about, you can’t smell your own bad breadth. But given a chance you will be happy to point fingers on others saying who all around you have bad breath.

I have been doing this, and it doesn’t solve problems but increases your problems, because now the problem is I want others to change around me, which is difficult, very difficult.

But the day I will start saying I have issues, then it becomes my problem, I don’t have to change others but myself, which is easier comparing it to changing people around me.

So next time someone is making you angry, or not behaving as you expected, think, think do you want to change them or change yourself that you don’t get angry or feel bad.
