Sometimes pet peeves are invitations to take a good look inside.
“The things that bother us most about others – our pet peeves – also point toward falsity in our own self. The speck that bothers me in the life of someone else is almost always the log in my own eye.” David Benner
“Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?” Matthew 7:3
