Rule 6: Set your house in perfect order before you criticize the world
There are plenty of things to criticize about being. It's tragic.
You can complain about that, but the thing is, if you complain about that, if you adopt that attitude - which is sort of an Anti-Being attitude - you go places that if you knew you were going you probably wouldn't want to go.
Should you criticize it?
Not till you put yourself together.
Approach the malevolence in yourself before you approach it in the world.
You've got to bring everything you can to bear on the problem before you have any right to. If you can help yourself you can help your family. Then community. Then the world.
