Be Tolerant of Yourself But Strict with Others?

There are two cats in the picture and they resemble each other except the expression:the left one opens its eyes with on focus when looking at its own weak points;while the right one opens its eyes wide with full attention when looking at others' shortcomings. With the sharp contrast,the picture intends to convey a meaningful message to its readers:some of us are tolerant of our own faults,but intolerant of those of others. This is well represented by the two different expressions of the cats accordingly.

Actually,such a double-standard mindset is not uncommon among us. Some people just pay little attention to their own mistake,but they would criticize others' ruthlessly. This attitude is not helpful,I think,to improve ourselves or to forge a solid relationship with people around us. By turning a blind eye to our own disadvantages,we lose the opportunity to become a better person. Besides,the unfair double-standard treatment would anger our friends and colleges,who might choose to keep a distance from us.

Therefore,I think it is wise for us to face up to our own weakness and treat others fairly.
