“When you point a finger at someone else, you have three pointing back at you.”
I am coming to realize that there may be some truth in the above statement most of us would have come across at some point or the other. We dislike in others what we unknowingly dislike in ourselves, and merely project it onto others from our own sub-consciousness. If we can be unbiased or neutral enough to accept this possibility, this understanding can really help us identify what we would like to change about ourselves. Sour grapes could actually be a defense-mechanism at work.
