It is increasingly easier to look at others than at oneself.
Man largely thinks and acts guided by his own "self"; even if he is religious, in human nature he is always driven to observe more the flaws of others, meticulously highlighting all their various shades, being a keen observer of the faults of others, but distracted by his own.
The egocentric human nature always behaves the same, whether in front of God or in front of men.
Do you remember the parable of the tax collector?
Luke 18:10-13 "Two men went up to the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men – extortioners, unjust, adulterers – or even as this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’ And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."
The Pharisee always believes he is in the right and sees nothing in others but sin, but the more serious matter is that both went up to the temple to "pray," which means that their same thought should have been that of meeting the Lord, asking Him for forgiveness for their own errors and sins. Yet one of them, the Pharisee, even thanks God for not being like the "others," not even like this "tax collector” (the tax collector), thus he thought he was fine; heaven was ready for him. But when, really?
Jesus clearly states that the tax collector would be justified and not the Pharisee; the blind pride of the Pharisee made him see the defects and evils of others, while the tax collector, in his humility, recognized his own state, not looking at others, but delving within himself, did not dare to raise his eyes to heaven.
Jesus came for sinners, not for the righteous, Matthew 9:13 (or for those who believe themselves to be such). In fact, in Luke 7:34, He says: “The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’”
Whom do you want to resemble, brother and/or friend, the Pharisee or the tax collector?
Whom do you want to follow, Jesus or your "self"?
Jesus is still waiting, and He has waited until now, but how much longer do you think you have on this earth?
The Holy Spirit is ready to take the place of your "self" in your heart; He wants to work in you, mold you like clay in the hands of the potter. He wants you to be a true child of God, not in words, but in deeds and reality. And then you will no longer think about looking at the flaws of others, you will no longer think about accusing others, but you will increasingly look at yourself, praying for others, for their salvation in Christ Jesus our Lord, blessed forever. Amen.

And I'm also afraid of little sex... that's all, goodnight.

You are right, my intervention was meant to demonstrate how pretentious, inflated, and exaggerated our Mina was; only a twisted mind could create something like that, similar to many others... the compliments should go to those who wrote the few decent songs she performed, because let’s be honest, she hasn't contributed much to the history of music.

A few extra pounds?

And anyway, continuing in this pointless argument shows that you aren't much more brilliant than me, beautiful loudmouth.

If you are the one in that photo, I have to admit that you don’t wear your eighteen years well...

If I were you, I would use this 8-- instead of this XD.

But excuse me, young idiot, you’re the one who started to annoy me by following me from one review to another... by the way, nice testicles next to your nickname!

You're missing, you beautiful Naples...

"I want to see if under oath they will have the courage not to tell the truth." But wasn't he a friend of Facchetti? "Yes, but let's leave Facchetti alone, I don't want to say anything about him. That would be too heavy." Do you think a different image of the victorious Inter from those years will come out of the trial? "I don't know, I don't care. If I really wanted to hurt Inter, I would have written a lot of other things in that book. I would have talked about fixed matches and bought referees, especially in the cups. Instead, I let it go..." But was it just Inter that was doping back then? "Of course not. I was also with Fiorentina and Lazio, so I can speak directly about those experiences too. In Florence, on Saturday morning, either the masseur or the team doctor would come by and give us IV drips, the same ones Bruno Beatrice talked about with his wife. I was in the room with Giancarlo De Sisti, and we took them together. Not that they were mandatory, but those who didn't take them found it hard to play. It's now well known that from that team, besides Bruno Beatrice, Ugo Ferrante (heart failure in 2003) and Nello Saltutti (cancer in 2004) have died. Others have had very serious illnesses, like Mimmo Caso, Massimo Mattolini, and De Sisti himself..." De Sisti denies having taken drugs. "'Picchio' says one thing on television, but when we are out together smoking a cigarette he says another..." And at Lazio? "There they gave us Villescon, a drug that made you feel no fatigue. It came directly from the pharmacy. Stuff that would make you run like a train." Other teams? "When Herrera moved to Roma, he brought the same methods he used at Inter. What do you think the Roma striker Giuliano Taccola, at 26 years old, died of during a trip to Cagliari in '69?" But why do you think no one is talking about it even now? They are all - you are - sixty years old now... "Those who are still in football don't want to expose themselves; they're afraid of being left out of the loop. They are all tied to a system; they don't want to lose their privileges, go on TV, and so on. Take my brother: he has been treated terribly by Inter, they kicked him out in a horrible way and even took away his honorary card to enter San Siro, but he is still afraid of making the Inter executives angry and always speaks very well of them on TV. Mariolino Corso, a guy who has had serious heart problems because of those little pills, goes around saying he doesn't even know me. Even Angelillo, who has had serious heart issues, doesn’t want to say anything: he knows, he still works as a scout for Inter. The only ones talking about those years are the relatives of those who have passed away, like Gabriella Beatrice or Alessio Saltutti, Nello's son. It's with them, thanks to Mrs. Beatrice's lawyer, Odo Lombardo, that an association of victims of doping in football is now being formed." Of course, if a great champion like your brother were on your side, your battle would have an extraordinary testimonial... "To put it bluntly, Sandro doesn’t have the guts to do something like that." And do you think doping is still around today? "Yes, especially in amateur leagues, where there are no controls: there, they are doping like beasts. What hurts me the most, though, are the kids..." The kids? "Now they are starting to give pills and concoctions from the age of 14-15. I work with the Borghesiana team in Rome, where my son Michele plays, and I always tell the boys to be careful even with hot tea if they don’t know what’s in it. I also made a statement for the juvenile court in Milan: dozens of complaints from fathers and mothers of kids taking strange stuff are coming in, maybe they run like crazy on the field and then fall asleep at their desk the next day at school. That's who I'm bringing everything out for."
