Is it human nature to criticise what we are most guilty of in ourselves? – Yahoo! UK & Ireland Answers

Is it human nature to criticise what we are most guilty of in ourselves?

Everything we see in life is an external expression of our internal nature. The things that we most dislike are the deepest cruelest parts of ourselves.

We tend to externalize and blame others for our own inner faults because we can't look at ourselves and correct our own nature. If we didn't have wars, and pollutions, and serial killers inside ourselves we would not see them outside.

Contrasted to that, humanity has a sense that these things are unbalanced with nature and they are incorrect. We know these things are wrong even though they are parts of ourselves. So we stage anti-war protests, make t-shirts that say, “Save the Whales,” and put serial killers in prison where we can interview them.

All of this makes us feel like we are correcting the problems inside ourselves that we are projecting externally; however, the problems remain because we haven't changed ourselves.

There are some links that further explain the relationship between internal and external reality.

yes it is, because we are warn down by curcumstance, and we are far too complicated not to. I mean i know men that have become rich and they sit in their thrones and they think why don't I dig a hole in my garden, because everything else is done, humans then find no other way to break the silence by shedding all the armour they had put on. much like building a fragile sand castle and messing it up afterwards

you dig?

It's the thief within you that condemns the thief within another.

If you had no thief in you, you would not see the thief in the other person.

Yes, self preservation, it deflects others from asking the inevitable question.

Yes I think so. You know yourself what you need to do and often give others advise, but then tend not to do it yourself!!
