False Certainty

It is easier to see problems in someone other than yourself. We all know people who knock on your door with their beliefs. They are very certain.

The wise person starts asking, "How does this apply to me".

It is easier to see problems in someone other than oneself.  We all know people who knock on our door with bibles.  They’re very certain. They are living in their certainties, but if we look outside our own worldviews, and look at beliefs distant from ours, it can begin to open our minds. The wise person starts asking, “How does this problem apply to me?” Where do I have a similar belief that I am not aware of or that I am stuck in?
