You Dislike In Others

You dislike in others what you dislike in you
A time old truism that remains ever true
Those we think that are perfect are not without some flaw
For perfection is not part of natural law
But the flaws that we see in others in ourselves we do see
Though many with such thinking may not agree
What we dislike in ourselves we prefer to disown
Such thinking is not new and to many is known
But the flawed they are many and the near perfect are few
Though to this you may say tell us something that is new
If everything were near to perfect there would not be poverty. wars or crime
But the behavior of human beings has not changed much over time
Some imperfect human beings behead other human beings today
And does this not seem a very sad thing for to say?
