Our people have never known such a Mother who could gather us all under Her protection.
Archpriest George Breyev
We cannot fully overcome feelings of self-love; they are very strong. And if a person does not struggle with them, doesn’t reject them, then, naturally, a demand arises to judge others from the heights of their self-opinion, saying: “I am so high and perfect, but I do not see perfection around me. Therefore, I have the right to make judgments and label others.”
If we take a look at ourselves and try to see our own inclinations, then we can easily see that we already have a steady habit formed of judging.
