  The bible even has something to say about it:

  And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

    Always loved that one.

    The Parable of the Mote and the Beam by Domenico Fetti c. 1619

      What does the quoted passage mean and how does this painting relate?

        “mote” as in a speck of dust

        “beam” as in a huge plank of wood

        Basically don’t point out small faults of your neighbor while ignoring huge faults of your own.

        It’s a metaphor. No one has a beam in their eye. But it’s a metaphor that drops suddenly in the second half, because you can literally imagine a mote in someone’s eye.

        Its a bibpe verse against hypocrisy, essentially correct yourself before correcting others. Take the log put of your eye before you take it out of someone else’s. The painting shows a guy talking with a log his face.

        What the other person said but specifically take the tiny little thing out of your eye, before telling someone else to take the big huge thing out of their own.

        Basically don’t criticise unless you’re perfect.

  They’re SO deep down the hole with their big lie that they think everyone ELSE is lying to himself. Truly amazing.

  The best parts of theology are the parts that engage in introspection.
