Hiroko’s Diary

I got a really good lesson from the worship I attended last Sunday. 

The priest introduced us a bible sentence that meant “iron is polished by iron and people are polished by people.”   According to him, our mental growth is acquired by getting contact with other people. 

And what the most important thing here is that we should not be self-centered but we should be humble and regard others as ones that are superior to us.

It seems difficult to think and behave that way.  However the reason why we think it difficult is that we tend to judge others while thinking “Which one is saying an apropriate words, me or the person I’m talking to?”

The priest said that we can never judge other people’s perspectives.  What we should keep in mind is how we behave in front of  others.  How others behave or think don’t matter.

It was a really thoughtful lesson.
