Attempting to hide one's meanness
and wickedness and putting on the mask of goodness,
justifying one's faults and exaggerating one's attainments -
these are also poisonous traits.
Equally poisonous is the habit of
ignoring the good in others and assiduously
seeking only their faults.
Never speak words that demean anyone.
When we are friendly with another and like them very much,
whatever he/she does is certain to strike us as good.
When the wind changes and the same person is disliked,
even the good he/she does strikes us as bad.
Both these reactions are misconceived.
They are not commendable at all.
