A man sat down at a banquet table and the place setting name tag next to his read, “Emily Post”. He assumed it was the famed columnist who was an expert on table manners. He asked the lady sitting there, “Are you Emily Post?” She replied, “Yes, I am.” He asked again, “Are you the Emily Post?” She replied, “Yes, I am.”
He asked a third time, “Are you the Emily Post who wrote the book on etiquette?" She replied, “Yes I am, why do you ask?” He nodded and said, “You just ate my salad.”
Jesus warned us against looking for faults in the lives of others and then overlooking bigger faults in our own life. What we ought to to concentrate on is correcting those in our own lives first. If we would do that, both we and the people with whom we associate would be better and happier.
