.Application:
* We often operate under a double standard, wanting others to change, or their behavior to be modified, without holding ourselves to the same high standard.
* We can avoid critical responses towards brothers and sisters in the faith, spouses, roommates, children, nonbelievers...
* There are so many areas in which we can become judgmental: personal appearance, table manners, minor doctrinal differences, pronunciation of words, overweight, accidental scriptural misquotations, matters of prejudice, stress-induced habits, and so on..Next: "On the Love of Solitude & Silence (Book 1, Chapter 20) and "On Seeking Peace of Mind" (Book 1, Chapter 11)
