I Could Have Sworn I Heard Glass Breaking

A few days ago I read this devotional that comes in my e-mail mailbox.

In short, it basically mentions how we often judge someone without even realizing it. The example she has is making comments on less than modestly dressed women.

This part hit me. I know I do this all the time. I often cannot wrap my head around why someone would wear something that tight, low cut, short, etc. So I mention it either to myself or whoever I'm with.

Or I will have a difficult time with how someone is acting inappropriately in public, either behavior or language.

But is my being snarky and talking bad about them any better than what they are doing? They may have mad a poor choice but isn't my choice bad too? They may not be able to hear me being mean to them but I still am.

Sometimes it takes reading about someone else's faults to realize that you have the same one.

Now I know I don't often get quite this deep on here but this is something that hit me hard when I read it. It was like that episode of How I Met Your Mother when the all realize bad habits about each other. I heard the glass shattering for me when I read that e-mail last week. It's amazing how we don't always even realize everything about ourselves.
