<p>Qn: We most resent in others the very flaws that we ourselves possess.</p>
<p>Hi guys, I know this topic might have been graded before but i would like to put across a new perspective to this question. Hope you guys take time to read and grade it!</p>
<p>I believe witnessing one's own flaws manifest in another individual would not lead to resentment or hatred for him. On the contrary, one would more than likely start to reflect upon oneself and be emboldened to make a change. This concept or ideology can be best explained in the late Michael Jackson's "Man in the mirror". The mirror in this case assuming the role of a person with a similar flaw as oneself. However, I do believe resentment may be evoked if the flaw that the two individuals possess leads to a clash of personality. Furthermore, I would like to add on by saying that the flawlessness of a person would more than likely evoke jealously and ultimately resentment as compared to the former statement.</p>
<p>Beneath the closely knitted and bonded family image that my family holds is an underlying problem which has a lot of relevance to this topic. My Father and sister both have volatile temperaments, which have been the cause of heated arguments and the utter disdain for each other. This resentment has been due to the clash of personalities where both individuals' characters do not complement one another and not because they see in each other the same flaw that they share.</p>
<p>Adding on,the biblical phrase "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye when you yourself have a plank in you own eye" demonstrates the propensity for us to overlook our own misgivings as we analyse or judge others. This bible verse directly rebukes this claim and shows that in most cases, we look at others with a one-sided attitude,</p>
<p>Flawlessness might in some cases stir up hostile feelings and resentment. The example of how Jesus had to die on a cross despite being blameless illustrates the influence that jealousy has on our actions. Finding no fault in Jesus who in his time was a great missionary, the Pharisees were adamant to get him arrested and killed. If Jesus were just like the Pharisees, having similar flaws of pride and the love for materialistic gains, the Pharisees might well have left him alone.</p>
<p>The shared flaws that we might have with another person could well be bridges to build bonds. In a nutshell, the absence of such flaws could very well distance a person from others not like himself. However, if shared flaws could stir up animosity, it would most likely be due to the clash of personality instead.</p>
