When one sees his own faults, he will not have the time to see the others’ faults.

About This Quote

When one sees his own faults, he will not have the time to see the others’ faults. This quote comes from the book The Art of War , a Chinese military treatise written by Sun Tzu a thousand years ago. It’s a great understanding of human nature and the way we go about being happy with ourselves, no matter how flawed we are. The quote also illustrates the importance of knowing yourself and your flaws.

We all have little imperfections that we can’t seem to get rid of. In fact, we even have them in our friends and family members. These flaws should be accepted for what they are, and not allowed to fester into something larger.

Doing this allows us to see others’ flaws as well as our own , and hopefully come together as a better person.
