"The very purpose of spirituality is self-discipline. Rather than criticizing others, we should evaluate and criticize ourselves. Ask yourself, what am I doing about my anger, my attachment, my pride, my jealousy? These are the things we should check in our day to day lives. Quote by the Dalai Lama.
I try really hard not to criticise others. I do not gossip. But I am not really very far along on the road to evaluating myself. When people needlessly criticise others or myself I still feel the need to stirke back. Only with tight control of my tongue do I narrowly escape without destroying the speaker.
When I worked I kept a daily journal which helped. But since I retired I have quit that. Maybe it is time to dust off the journal.
