Looking into Closets

WHO TOOK my inventory? Whoever did can have it and welcome, because I took theirs and thereby took my own. When I sit in open judgment on another, I'm a sitting duck. I am the target. I learned in AA that the tendencies I often found wrong in others were my own faults. I was surprised when told, "Remember, when you point a finger at another person, mentally or otherwise, three of your own fingers point right back at yourself." A cliche, to be sure, but so often true with me. As I laid bare another's defects, I found I was uncovering a large expanse of my own defects.
