Punishing Ourselves with Other's Faults

A friend of mine sent me this some time ago. Words of wisdom to share with everybody.

人们常要求别人
对自己好，顺自己的意；
否着就埋怨， 气愤，
拿别人的错误来惩罚自己，
这就是烦恼的来源。

----证严法师静思语

People usually expect others to be kind to them,
do as they wish;
otherwise, people will complain, become angry,
punishing themselves for other's faults,
that is the source of all worries.
---- Ven. Zheng Yan
