"i do not like that person, because he is just like me!!"

a friend said this to me 5 years ago. this statement has came back to me again.
i believe it has certain truth in it. how often do we see a person disliking, or even hating another to the core and almost all these time, those bad critics they made can also be found to exist in themselves.

i always amazed when people tell me, " oh i do not like that person because bla bla bla..."
on the surface i will say nothing but deep within, i will seek the 'how' question - "how do you know?"

really how do you know?
how do you know he is a liar if you are not one.
how do you know he is a hypocrite if you are not one.
how do you know he makes use of people if you are not one.

for we are what we see
a evil person will never find goodness from people
similarily a person with a good heart believes no one is evil.
from whose view point do you look from.
most of the time, it is from you own.

roman 8:5
for those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of flesh, but those who live according the the Spirit, the things of Spirit."

magnet repels because of the same reason.
so next time if you find yourself disliking someone, ask yourself, "am i like him?"
