Why is it that we can be so intolerant about other people’s faults and so blind to our own?
o When you get angry, you have a bad temper; when I get angry, I’ve had a bad day.
o When you don’t like someone, you’re a bigot; when I don’t like someone I’m a good judge of character
o When you compliment someone, you’re a flatterer; when I compliment someone I’m an encourager
o When you’re late you’re inconsiderate; when I’m late I have a busy schedule
o When you oversleep you’re lazy; when I oversleep I’m exhausted from all my good deeds
