Bila kita asyik melihat kesilapan orang lain...

Begitulah kebanyakan kita hari ini, sering melihat kesilapan orang lain, jarang sekali menilai diri sendiri.
Kenapa kita selalu mencari kesilapan orang?
Kerana kita sering merasakan kita lah yg terbaik. Itulah yang puncanya.
Saya menerima kesan akibat perangai segelintir manusia sekeliling yang merasakan dia yang terbaik. Hasilnya, saya terpaksa bersabar dalam keadaan yang sepatutnya saya gembira untuk merealisasikan apa yang saya impikan selama ini.
Jika berterusan begini, semoga saya akan dapat bersabar menghadapi kerenah manusia 'sempurna' begini.....
