Good morning, Team! It’s Friday!

A lesson on perspective:

Many have heard the passage, from Matthew 7:3

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the [log] in your own eye?

The analogy is intentionally exaggerated to show how our own perspective is often more flawed than we realize. 

A similar perspective,

“We judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their behavior.” Stephen Covey

The quote reveals that judging intentions (internal view) versus behavior (external view) creates a mismatch in moral and social evaluation due to perspective asymmetry. To build better relationships, trust, and fairness, individuals must actively shift perspectives and consider intentions behind others’ actions as well.

Walk a mile in my shoes before judging me sort of thing.

Food for thought on a Friday morning.

Have a blessed weekend!
