"Why do people tend to point up the faults of others?

"Why do people tend to point up the faults of others? Why torment
men and women who are struggling in the midst of so many
difficulties? The strangest thing is that in criticizing others,
people think they are proving their own insightfulness, wisdom
and even love. You will object that those who spare the rod spoil
the child, as the saying goes, and that chastising begins with
criticism. No, in many cases, love does not involve criticizing,
and nor does wisdom. To love others is to understand their
difficulties and act sensitively to alleviate their suffering,
while criticism tends rather to graze, scratch and wound. It is
no longer love but carnage. True love is not stained with blood;
it is great and luminous. Through it you connect to God, and God
advises you on the best ways to deal with others.
What is good criticism? It is like the work of a good gardener,
who knows how to cut the trees, prune them, straighten them and
rid them of caterpillars and harmful insects. A good gardener
preserves what is good, and soon magnificent flowers and fruit
appear."

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

Tant que tu ne sais pas ...

Tant que tu ne sais pas parler avec la fleur, l'arbre, l'oiseau, la pierre, l'océan tu ne connais pas l'autre, tu es encore limité. Tant que tu te compares au monde des hommes pour savoir qui tu es et quelle valeur tu as, tu es encore bien pauvre. Les grands sages, les grands fils de la Lumière qui ont parlé dans le monde des hommes l'ont fait pour glorifier la sagesse du Père qui est incomparable. Ils ont voulu ouvrir les portes vers un monde supérieur afin de délivrer les mondes inférieurs de la noirceur engendrée par la bêtise de l'homme. En sachant lire le grand livre de la sagesse, l'homme entre dans le monde vrai.

In Trouble Together

(Once, I came home to find my children climbing into the attic through a hole in the ceiling --an act I had sternly forbidden due to the dangers involved. But I watched before I opened my mouth. It took four of them: Two to lift one up and another to hold the chair those two were standing on. It was then that I understood something I had heard my teacher say many times:)

When a father sees his children working together with love, he is prepared to forgive them for anything. Better harmonious troublemaking than acrimonious obedience.
