Perceive

To perceive others’ flaws

Is much easier than 

To perceive one’s own, as

Doing so would mean

To encounter the actual self, that’s 

More cruel, more nastier

More hypocritical, more unhinged

Than the perceived self

In the depths of self lies

All the buried “unacceptable” thoughts

Yet one’s self-perception

As an ideal to be emulated, is 

What keeps humanity going!
