As I watched him I could see the tension in his face and how he held his body and I thought of something I just read by a Dr. Julian Lake.

The good doctor had set up two groups; in the first group were people who were unable to relax and in the second group were those who were relatively free from tension.

They discovered that the tense people had one thing in common which was not prevalent among the relaxed group --- they were all extremely critical of others.

It’s really quite simple.

When you love your neighbor and make an effort to at least understand he or she even if they are not acting neighborly, you feel better.

If you are always finding fault when your complaint is at best a costly and shriveled thing your body responds in like kind.

Ah, my friends…

There is so much good
In the worst of us,
And so much bad in the best of us,
That it hardly behooves any of us,
To talk about the rest of us.

An old friend of mine once shared a favorite prayer he often prayed…

“Lord, fill my mouth with proper stuff,
And nudge me when I’ve said enough.”

Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment that you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, "Let me take the speck out of your eye," when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
Christianity. Matthew 7.1-5
