On Motes and Beams
It is curious that our on offenses should seem so much less heinous than the offenses of others. I suppose the reason is that e kno all the circumstances that have oasioned them and so manage to excuse in ourselves hat e cannot excuse in others. We turn our attention aay from our on defects, and hen e are forced by untoard events to nsider them, find it easy to ndone them. For all I kno e are right to do this; they are part of us and e must aept the good and bad in ourselves together.
But hen e e to judge others, it is not by ourselves as e really are that e judge them, but by an image that e have ford of ourselves fro hich e have left out everything that offends our vanity or ould discredit us in the eyes of the orld. To take a trivial instance: ho srnful e are hen e catch soone out telling a lie; but ho can say that he has never told not one, but a hundred?
There is not much to choose beteen n. They are all a hotchpotch of greatness and littleness, of virtue and vice, of nobility and baseness. So have more strength of character, or more opportunity, and so in one direction or another give their instincts freer play, but potentially they are the sa. For my part, I do not think I am any better or any orse than most people, but I kno that if I set don every action in my life and every thought that has crossed my mind, the orld ould nsider a monster of depravity. The knoledge that these reveries are mon to all n should inspire one ith tolerance to oneself as ell as to others. It is ell also if they enable us to look upon our fellos, even the most eminent and respectable, ith humor, and if they lead us to take ourselves not too seriously.
译文
微尘与栋梁
让人奇怪的是，和别人的过错比起来，我们自身的过错往往不是那样的可恶。我想，其原因应该是我们知晓一切导致自己犯错的情况，能够设法谅解自己的错误，而别人的错误却不能谅解。我们对自己的缺点不甚关注，即便是深陷困境而不得不正视它们的时候，我们也会很容易就宽恕自己。据我所知，我们这样做是正确的。缺点是我们自身的一部分，我们必须接纳自己的好和坏。
当我们评判别人的时候，情况就不同了。我们不是通过真实的自我来评判别人，而是用一种自我形象来评判，这种自我形象完全摒弃了在任何世人眼中会伤害到自己的虚荣或者体面的东西。举一个小例子来说当觉察到别人说谎时，我们是多么地蔑视他啊!，谁能够说自从未说过谎?可能还不止一百次呢。
人和人之间没什么大的差别。他们皆是伟大与渺小，善良与邪恶，高尚与低俗的混合体。有的人性格比较坚毅，机会也比较多，因而达个或那个方面，能够更自由地发挥自己的禀赋，人类的潜能却都是相同的。至于我自己，我认为自己并不比大多数人更好或者更差，我知道，假如我记下我生命中每一次举动和每一个掠过我脑海的想法的话，世界就会将我视为一个邪恶的怪物。每个人都会有这样的怪念头，这样的认识应当能够启发我们宽容自己，也宽容他人。，假如我们得以用幽默的态度看待他人，即使是天下最优秀最令人尊敬的人，而且假如我们也不把自己看得过于重要，那是很有裨益的。
