Those Who Live in Glass Houses Should not Throw Stones at Others. All of us, as human beings, have our failings. In whatever profession we are, we have to tell lies and misrepresent facts to earn our livelihood.
An honest man has to starve, as is the common saying.
However, it is a pity that many people develop in their minds the monster of jealousy, malice and hidden ill-will. The result is that they are always on the look-out of an opportunity to hit a really honest, truthful and hard-working man. It is none of their business that they themselves should work hard to achieve success. They do not believe in healthy competition and recognition of the true merit of the other person. Instead, they indulge in flattery, back-biting and leg- pulling. They apply underhand methods to be successful. They devise means to snatch the due right of a genuinely meritorious person.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
Such men are snakes hidden in grass. They have their own failings and weaknesses. They are generally prone to several vices and bad habits, including telling lies, shirking work, misrepresenting facts etc. Sooner or later, their evil designs get exposed and they have to repent. They cannot face the truth which is evergreen and is the other name of God. That is why it is said, “Those who live in glass-houses should not throw stones at others.”
