It's easy to see the errors of others,

It's easy to see
the errors of others,
but hard to see
your own.

You winnow like chaff
the errors of others,
but conceal your own —
like a cheat, an unlucky throw.

If you focus on the errors of others,
constantly finding fault,
your effluents flourish.
You're far from their ending.
