"When you think you're looking through a window, and you're really looking in a mirror.” A pretty good definition of the psychological term "projection". It has also been said, that the things we dislike the most in others are the things we subconsciously dislike the most in ourselves.
If you still don’t get it, try this on, “When you point a finger at someone else, you have three more pointing back at you!”
It’s a pretty good personal "checks and balances" system---sometimes keeps me from shooting myself in the foot, sometimes not. It's like any other skill, it takes practice, practice, practice.
Go ahead, try it! The next time you find yourself really miffed at somebody, ask yourself, “Do I do that?” It’s called taking a daily personal inventory. After you get over the sting of slapping yourself in the face, the honesty feels pretty good.
A good personal application for me? One word: “TRAFFIC"
