Nitpicking

Ever have a grain of sand in your eye? It hurts, doesn’t it? You want to rub it but you know it can scratch your cornea and make it far worse. You can’t see worth a plug nickel because you can’t keep your eye open.

Now imagine having a log in your eye.

Jesus said when we nitpick one another we are trying to take a toothpick out of someone’s eye while we have a log in our own. Pointing out one another’s faults is a bad habit, even if we are keeping it to ourselves.
