"Do not look for faults in others,but look for faults in yourself,and purge them like bad blood"
-The Buddha
One of the easiest things that most people can do is to talk about somebody else's problems. Without having to place themselves in the other person's shoe, they tell people or the actual person about them self.
Do you know anyone who seems to know what's wrong with everybody? They can tell you sh*t about that person you may have already knew or didn't care to know. These pseudo (fake a$$) self-help experts most of the time have a lot of problems. Instead of confronting them they ignore them or flat out deny them when called out by friends and relatives. They figure if they can help others that they're helping themselves. WRONG.
If you choose to help someone, the answers you give them may or may not help whatever you're going through. The advice you give them may not even help them out. It sure as hell won't work if its the same problem you got. All you're doing is using that person as a guinea pig for your theory because you're unable to help yourself out. You're tripping and falling in the land of the blind leading the rest of the blind folk like you got some great vision that you never had.
Instead of helping others help yourself out. Get your house in order before you go out and take on someone else's issues. Before you set your eyes on another, take a long hard look at yourself.
