Im watching The Last Temptation of Christ. Although I have never seen this movie, I know the backstory to the scene I'm glancing at, just from going to church when I was younger. Its the scene with the adulterous woman who is about to be stoned by a mob of accusers. The quote that originated from this confrontation, "ye without sin cast the first stone," has been used as a defense against judgement time and time again. But the message of the quote goes a bit deeper than just shaking a finger at the judgemental. We are all tied together by common threads that shape human tendency. Flaws are a part of our healthy psyche. We must give ourselves permission to be human, while following divine example. When we begin to focus on and pick at the others flaws of others, we slowly adopt those tendencies ourselves, or the feelings derived from those tendencies. By then, we inadvertently become the people we want to despise and we cast stones on our own spirits.

In order to build ones self, one must build his fellow man.
