Seeing Our Faults in Others
Projection is a psychological maneuver whereby we see our own defects in other people. Projection can be a guideline for self-improvement. Anytime we see a fault in someone else, this should alert us we might be projecting. What we have discovered in others really may not exist in them at all, but rather be in ourselves. How wonderful the world would be if every time we felt like criticizing others we stopped and did a careful self-evaluation. We would at least delay our critical remarks and we would come to a more thorough self-awareness.
