Wise, the - have no illusions about humans but focus on their qualities

02/01/2010

Such damage is caused in social life by the deplorable tendency of newspapers, the radio and television to always find something to criticize in others! What pleasure can there be in focusing so much on things that are ridiculous, stupid or depraved? Why would they want to dig around in people's private life to uncover embarrassing details and then spread them all over the public arena? The wise try to have a different attitude. They are not blind; actually, they have no illusions, and they do not allow themselves to be misled, but they believe what matters most in others are their qualities and virtues. So these are what they focus on, and in so doing they reinforce the good in others and in themselves.
