I agree with the overall message. I am a big believer in practice what you preach. I will mention for anyone that needs to hear it: The reality is, people CAN preach what they don't practice, whether it makes sense or not. Sometimes, we put a lot of energy into being frustrated that people don't treat others as well as they should. I'm not saying don't try to talk to them, but once you've done that a time or two, if they don't listen, they are probably not going to the next time. So do we want to put energy pushing on a brick wall? Or put that energy into supporting the people that person is trying to make feel small? If people that believe in the golden rule support each other, we leave the people spewing vitriol to yell into the void where no one is listening. That's something we CAN do even if we can't make that person stop.

Hmm I see.
You’re right
I'm proud of myself for my sense of self awareness and my ability to introspect instead of being defensive.
I for don turn B
😂😂😂ThankGod for you
whatever you do in this life
Never be B
We all know a “B”
And they act weird
Very weird lot
They are everywhere 😂😂😂
I’m telling you😂
There's a lot of B's around 😭😭😭😭 HELPPPPPP
😂😂sorryyyy
it was intentional 😂😭
I’ve met a lot of B. Always pretending, condemning, criticizing. They know better what is good for everybody.
I think it’s because it’s easier to see the flaws of others before seeing ours.
I always considering others like mirrors for me. I don’t condemn, judge nor criticize, but use them as model to see my life and find my peace.
Don’t need to pretend, much less to preach others 😁
Yeah preaching to people is unnecessary. If you must, and you can do it without sounding condescending, mean or demeaning, go for it.
But we all hope we don’t see you doing what you said you can “never” do. Because then you’d be the greater fool.
And people don’t really listen to preachings
Exactly

Doing is never easy. But if you can't do, don't preach. But everybody wants to be the wise person.
