Those who want to be saved scrutinize not the shortcomings of their neighbor but always their own and they set about eliminating them.  Such was the man who saw his brother doing wrong and groaned, `Woe is me; him today - me tomorrow!' Do you see his caution? Do you see the preparedness of his mind? How he swiftly foresaw how to avoid judging his brother? When he said, `me tomorrow,' he aroused his fear of sinning, and by this he increased his caution about avoiding those sins which he was likely to commit, and so he escaped judging his neighbor; and he did not stop at this, but put himself below his brother, saying, `He has repented for his sin but I do not always repent. I am never first to ask for forgiveness and I am never completely converted.'   St. Dorotheos of Gaza
