There are people who could almost be regarded as functions of their faults. If you had to characterize them in one sentence, their faults would come to mind first of all. It is the way they present themselves. Then you are startled, realizing that you have failed to approach them in love. Usually where such obvious faults are concerned it is not at all a matter of grave sins. Thus, it is indeed possible to search for a different approach, to construct a different image of this person. And when you have found it, the fault becomes integrated and is no longer nearly as obtrusive as before.

Wait, is that a mote, speck, splinter, or sawdust in your eye? A Swiss mystic learns to get past the obvious faults in others.
