If he is
poor and you are wealthier or wiser than he,think
in your heart that you are more resposible than
him and he has fulfilled more Mitzvos than you.
The Talmud gives the following story
to illustrate why we must view everyone and
everything in a positive way.It once happened
that Rabbi Shimon ben Elazar met Elisha HaNavi
who was disguised as a lowly pauper.Not knowing
his true identity Rabbi Shimon said to him
"How lowly you are.Are all the people of
your city as lowly as you? Elisha responded
"I don't know but tell the craftsman who
designed me how useless his vessel is." At
once Rabbi Shimon realised his sin and asked for
forgiveness.(Taanis 20a)
To find a flaw in the creation is to find a flaw
in the creator(Maharsha)So look for the good in
everyone and the perfection of the creator,but in
yourself see where you have sinned so you can
improve.
