Matthew 7:3
This is a really good principle... the idea is to take a look at our own lives rather than the lives of others. Fix ourselves rather than trying to fix them. :) The implication is that our own problems are a lot bigger than the ones that we are nitpicking others about. :) Perhaps we do that as a distraction from our own gigantic problems, but God asks us to face our own faults before trying to address the faults of others. Seems like a really healthy idea too... I think we hurt ourselves *and* others frequently when we do things the other way around.
Today, let's address our own behavior patterns and attitude problems rather than those of others. Let's get those beams out of our eyes, and then, in some far future date when we've managed that, and we no longer have obstructed vision, then we can start considering those motes. :)
