Takes One to Know One

You know something I really hate? Sometimes I see a person do something that is so clearly sinful, shameful, and inexcusable. And then I remember times I’ve done exactly what he just did. I hate that. It’s much easier to be smug.

Can you tell that _just_ happened?

It brought to mind this resolution of Jonathan Edwards:

Resolved, never to do any thing, which if I should see in another, I should count a just occasion to despise him for, or to think any way the more meanly of him.

And this parallel resolution:

Resolved, always to do that, which I shall wish I had done when I see others do it.
