Body-Odour
What makes you think of these 2 words when you immediately come across? Maybe the obvious words you might use to describe it are 'smelly!' or 'yuck!' or 'yeeee!' etc.
But many didn't notice one thing. We are very sensitive to other people's body odour. Like that of people who are generally quite obese. Note: "We are sensitive to other people's..." But when one have body odour, can we tell exactly that we, ourselves have it? Most can't as they are too used to it with the smell till they don't realize it exactly.
In the above example, I am trying to convey a similar way to how we usually judge others. For example, we, or even myself tend to get irritated by someone's attitude towards certain things, manners at talking or acting and more frequently, habits. We (I) tend to get very sensitive to a certain extent about someone's flaws.
A lesson to learn - Everyone have flaws, different ones. Even you and I have it. So do not criticize others' when you think that the flaws he or she have that you don't have. Similarly, when you put yourself in his or her shoes, you don't like people to criticize you as well. It is an important lesson that all must learn as we often get irritated and frustrated at someone's habits when we ourselves don't possesses it.
In the same way, we have flaws. Lots and different of it but we don't realize it. We might be criticizing about others but think about yourself, do I have a habit that everyone hates? What is it? If you know, how are you going to change them? We need to ask ourselves these questions to be self-conscious at times. Don't be others-conscious for others should be realizing it themselves. If not, we should gently remind them of their habits and encourage them to gradually change. Not to talk behind their backs about their habits or attitude of how they handle things this or that way for we ourselves also have flaws that others don't. True friends don't talk behind their friends' back, instead, they should be loving them to an extent whereby issue like this one should be brought out openly letting the person know and remind him or her gently - an encouragement from a friend - will make him or her feels more comfortable when they are with you.
In conclusion, we (I) need to learn about our (my) own 'body-odour' and think of ways to minimize and eventually stops the 'smell'. And don't talk about others at their backs about THEIR body-odour because if they finds out, they will be deeply hurt.
