THE BAGS FULL OF FAULTS - JUNE 18
According to Greek legend, when men were created, the great god Zeus gave each one a gift of two bags. One bag was full of man's own faults, the other full of everbody else's faults. But when the moment came for Zeus to give man his two bags, each one hanging at the opposite end of a carrying pole, by mistake he put the bag with the defects of everybody else in the front, whilst the bag with each man's own defects finished up behind his back.
It is perhaps for this reason that it is so easy to see other people's faults and so difficult to see our own!
