embarrassed to be seen with someone who was chewing with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose。 I was astonished to find how much I cared about how the other people in the restaurant perceived me。
Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as a protective shield against you being like him。 Just because I judged my lunch partner as offensive does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him。 In the same way; extending tolerance to him would not cause me to suddenly begin chewing my food with my mouth open。
When you approach life in this manner; those with whom you have the greatest grievances as well as those you admire and love can be seen as mirrors; guiding you to discover parts of yourself that you reject and to embrace your greatest quality。
