If you look in internet or facebook or whatever, you will have many religious person told to be like this or like that, when we are practitioner we try to encourage others to be better but sometimes when situation show on we forget ourself to be like we preach.
As buddhist we should act compassionate and love to each other, I have a resent story from someone form what I can call my dharma family in India was telling me I love everybody but I hate this kind of people and I just say to him, so you lie to yourself you don't love everybody as this kind are beings and advice him to think that all beings have our mother no matter what we are now and we should take care of them with kindness.
In some others situation we will be kind in our work with all customers and colleague, kind to all kind of beings and come back home and totally be unkind with the partner we live in, that the same things of preaching good and practising bad.
We are not perfect and nobody is, we like to build barrier as nation, as race or religion but all of this just disappear when we finally realise we are all humans and when we drink water that water still come from the same earth, that us put the label of the region that come from where that come from but at the end this water still come from the earth.
In spiritual path soon we hit the tern anger and hate it's the time to ask ourself, do I have practice in the good way or do that is real or do that person isn't a living beings like me or are we really separate ?
After that is good to remind ourself that the good and bad come and go into our life that all karma, but we find karma excuse to be cruel to someone or to forget that we practice the way, in every situation there's a way to came out, unconditional love is ones again the part of this, recognise that the person we judge is same of us, have feeling like we have, have sensibility like we have.
Buddha say that when we have grief with someone or something the better way to heal, is dig a big hole to earth, drop the grief in it, put the earth on top and let the grass cover it and forgive, in our time we want always seek revenge of sometimes there's some miss understanding make this people think you are like this and because this people have another view he/she think like that and there's a conflict.
They was a psychologist have made a experience with his child one day for 6 month he try this experience, he pain a cube one face red one face green and every morning he show the red face to the child and say what you can see and the child say red and what I see and the child say red when the father was in front of the green face.
This story to explain since day one we train ourself to one view but sometimes hold this view can damage others, that the reason when we practice the spiritual path we change our view to have a kind view whatever is our path.
In our time sometimes we have to ask ourself do I apply what I preach, if not maybe we should follow our own advices and progress in our way, that good to help others but in same time we don't have to forget to help ourself.
We have to be always in the right balance
