“When we see men of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves.”
— Confucius

Simplified Meaning:
When you meet someone whose behavior you don't like or agree with, take a moment to look at yourself and your own actions instead of just judging them. This means reflecting on your own qualities and thinking about whether you have those same negative traits. For example, if you think someone is being rude or unfair, consider if you've ever acted that way towards others. By doing this, you can understand yourself better and work on improving your own behavior. It helps you become more self-aware and avoid the same mistakes you see in others. This approach can lead to personal growth and better relationships with those around you.
