> *Friends, in today’s Gospel Jesus commands us to stop judging others. He
> asks, “Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not
> perceive the wooden beam in your own eye?” We are exceptionally good at
> seeing the fault in others, but we are exceptionally adept at ignoring it
> in ourselves. There was a very popular book that came out when I was a
> teenager. It was called I’m Okay and You’re Okay. It represented the
> culture of exculpation and feel-good-about-yourself. Not many years ago,
> Christina Aguilera crooned, “I am beautiful in every single way and words
> can’t bring me down.” Look at so many of the debates today: the attitude
> that is winning is one of self-invention and self-assertion. Who are you to
> tell me how to behave?In all of this, we are fundamentally looking away
> from our guilt, our fault, our darkness. We are effectively drugging
> ourselves, dulling the pain of real self-consciousness. In the process, we
> turn ourselves into God, pretending to be absolute, flawless, and
> impervious to criticism. So “remove the wooden beam from your eye first;
> then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye.”*
