When we complain about others, about the very same things that we ourselves do, we are obviously, blinded subjectively.
When we have that double-standard in our behaviour in relationship to our value system, we allow our own flaws or mistakes, to be projected unto others in our perception, believing that our complaints are justified -- because, in reality, when we complain about something that is done by others, that we also do -- the complaint is negated or countered by our own matching flaws or mistakes?
That is a fascinating way, that we human beings tend to dismiss our own shortcomings, and put them on, or point the finger at someone else who may be in error, or flawed by the very same shortcomings of ourselves; that which we are in denile of, of ourselves.
On a whimsical note -- You may notice, that I seem to be pointing my finger at complainers. And the irony is, that if I were (in this case, complaining about complainers) -- I am not really in denile of that double-standard. And that may be a large difference, from those who point fingers -- but, who don't see the double-standard. (And I am relating this in a playful way, only to demonstrate the irony of being in denile of the double-standard that is described above.)
What are your thoughts, about this blind-spot, that we humans tend to have?
And on the flip-side -- When we, human beings, see the good in others -- we are also, noticing or identifying with the good in ourselves; whether or not, we are aware of this. (That is definitely, a remarkable plus of positive projection. Would you not agree?)
