　ourselves　that　we　dislike。

Therefore；　you　can　allow　others　to　be　the　mirror　to　illuminate　more　clearly　your　own　feelings　of　self…worth。　Conversely；　you　can　view　the　people　you　judge　negatively　as　mirrors　to　show　you　what　you　are　not　accepting　about　yourself。

To　coexist　peacefully　with　others；　you　will　need　to　learn　tolerance。　A　big　challenge　is　to　shift　your　perspective　radically　from　judgment　of　other　to　a　lifelong　exploration　of　yourself。　Your　task　is　to　assess　all　the　decisions；　judgments　you　make　onto　others　and　to　begin　to　view　them　as　clues　to　how　you　can　heal　yourself　and　bee　whole。

I　recently　had　a　business　lunch　with　a　man　who　displayed　objectionable　table　manners。　My　first　reaction　was　to　judge　him　as　offensive　and　his　table　manners　as　disgusting。　When　I　noticed　that　I　was　judging　him；　I　stopped　and　asked　myself　what　I　was　feeling。　I　discovered　that　I　was　embarrassed　to　be　seen　with　someone　who　was　chewing　with　his　mouth　open　and　loudly　blowing　his　nose。　I　was　astonished　to　find　how　much　I　cared　about　how　the　other　people　in　the　restaurant　perceived　me。

Remember　that　your　judgment　of　someone　will　not　serve　as　a　protective　shield　against　you　being　like　him。　Just　because　I　judged　my　lunch　partner　as　offensive　does　not　prevent　me　from　ever　looking　or　acting　like　him。　In　the　same　way；　extending　tolerance　to　him　would　not　cause　me　to　suddenly　begin　chewing　my　food　with　my　mouth　open。

When　you　approach　life　in　this　manner；　those　with　whom　you　have　the　greatest　grievances　as　well　as　those　you　admire　and　love　can　be　seen　as　mirrors；　guiding　you　to　discover　parts　of　yourself　that　you　reject　and　to　embrace　your　greatest　quality。
