Look In The Mirror First

Look in the mirror first

Before you explode in outburst

Make sure your own life can withstand a public examination

Before you point your finger in accusation.

 

Many people are loyal to you

As long as they need you

But once their need of you is gone

You’ll be left all alone.

 

When you pass judgement on another

You do not define him or her

You only define yourself

Laying bare your inner self.

 

What you sow you reap

Always look before you leap

Talking bad about someone behind their back

Speaks more about you than the person about whom you are talking bad.

 

When your actions don’t match your words

Your supporters will abandon you in hordes

Evaluate your words before they leave your lips

For you can cause great damage if you let callous words slip.

 

Take a hard look in the mirror for introspection

Ask yourself whether you are proud of what you see in the reflection

Cast out the beam out of thine own eye

Only then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.

 

Look in the mirror first

Before you swear and curse

Make sure you put on your glasses

It may save you a lot of blushes.
