See. Look.
“You only see yourself.”
“And you never look at yourself.“
– – – Dialigue in the film Fever Dream.
Stopped me in my tracks.
Just like this does —-
“It’s easy to see a smudge on your neighbor’s face and be oblivious to the ugly sneer on your own. Do you have the nerve to say, ‘Let me wash your face for you,’ when your own face is distorted by contempt? It’s this whole traveling road-show mentality all over again, playing a holier-than-thou part instead of just living your part. Wipe that ugly sneer off your own face, and you might be fit to offer a washcloth to your neighbor.”
—- Christ Jesus said that in Matthew 7:3-5.
