Challenge yourself to see some good in everyone...

The way in which we react to 'others' shows something of our own inner state. Like it is stated, when a thief 'sees' a saint, all that he sees are his pockets.

How many pearly white teeth do you see each day?

Hazret Isa, may peace be upon him, was walking with his disciples when they came upon a decaying dead dog. The disciples frowned and covered their mouths and noses to avoid the horrible stench. One disciple commented on the maggots, another mourned his lost appetite, while a third gaped at the dogs exposed ribs. Isa (as)paused then inquired: "Did you see that dog's lovely pearly white teeth?"
