mate things, some of them hattering.
Not OF those particular things had ever
happened to occur to me.
But there in telling that observer
So He would have known better.
He was simply doing aloud what most Of us
do in silence, creating an imaginary human being
and identifying it with real human being
There is very popular magazine writer who, a
few years ago, used to publish studies OF public
men, His articles showed an amazing knowledge
OF what went II the minds OF those men, or
what might pass for knowledge. | don't believe
the men themselves knew half as much as he did
about their inner consciousness
lie had iathomcd those men. For instruc-
ton he proceeded to turn those inside
Often As | read those articles | would say to
myself: "Does this fellow think he is Cod"
nc actually wrote if important thought
OF any ono OF his subjects had escaped him, that
is, no thought of evil.
For in nearly every instance it was the evil in
his subjects character that he was most kecny
alive to-
SO many "i lis arc like that writer. We size
UP one another as if each OF us believed that he
was God. And i'll our judgments VIC arc most
kcenly alive to what is evil.
In tins respect | wonder ii there is not f,rnda-
mental difference between God and ourselves.
Unquc>tionably VIC often sec the evil. But
often VIC mistake its origin. Where VIC think VIC
find it in others ii may really como from our own
thinking.
The truth is that most OF us see what VIC arc
looking for in this world.
Ii We are looking for evil We find it. The rca-
son is not merely that evil exists all around us.
There is another reason, far more potent. BY
looking for evil in our fellow creatures we bring
out evil either from them from ourselves per
haps from both.
BY looking for good bring out good both
from others and from ourselves.
But there really is not much to be gained by
looking. Those OF us who look most are usually
those who see least. Conscious looking tends to
put people their guard, to create limitation,
awk wardncsS.
There is just way OF seeing Alright. should
not be surprised if that were Gods way. But
don't pretend to know. | only know that it in
variably works with human beings. That is by
feeling with other people.
II We feel sympathy shan't want to tathom
people and to expose all their weaknesses. We
shall recognize them as being essentially like our
selves And shall give them the same mcrciful
judgment that arc so eager to give to ourselves.
So let us be careful about this practice, so COM
mon now, OF ndulging and displaying insight.
When think ii is revealing others it may be
revealing only ourselves.
And worst OF all, it may be peopling the world
with ugly ghosts, creatures of evil that como out
OF Our cgotistical thoughts.
