| the evaluation turns out to be that your faults are indeed so much less than the other's | 42 CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS -- OBJECTIVITY AND SUBJECTIVITY |
| that ability, all your superior qualities, your lesser faults mean nothing! But if you make serious endeavors | 42 CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS -- OBJECTIVITY AND SUBJECTIVITY |
| you. Whenever you are upset about another person's faults, there must be something in you that is | 42 CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS -- OBJECTIVITY AND SUBJECTIVITY |
| good when you close your eyes to the faults of those you love because they love you | 42 CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS -- OBJECTIVITY AND SUBJECTIVITY |
| not try to close your eyes to the faults of the loved one, but will do the | 42 CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS -- OBJECTIVITY AND SUBJECTIVITY |
| you as the loved one must not have faults which you do not consider acceptable. Oh, you | 42 CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS -- OBJECTIVITY AND SUBJECTIVITY |
| consider acceptable. Oh, you may admit to some faults in the other, as you admit to some | 42 CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS -- OBJECTIVITY AND SUBJECTIVITY |

| say an image, a wrong conclusion, or certain faults you have found. You may hide behind that | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| now, but not more. The admission of certain faults and inner negativities will pacify those who help | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| due to injustice, to malice, and to the faults of others. But there is a limit as | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
