Physician, heal thyself


The Latin spelling of a doctor, care tepsum, literally translated, means a doctor, caring for yourself and reads in the Gospel according to Luke (4: 23); comes from a Jewish midrash.

Used to deplore the behavior of those who blame the defects of others without looking at their own, finds its counterpart in the evangelical, metaphorical, paglius that is in the neighbor's eye easier to see the beam that is in our (Luca, 6, 41).

However, the concept is of a universal nature. Suffice to think of the fabulous fagot Fedro explaining in his own way this normal attitude of men: Jupiter has put on us two webbing, one in front of us, the other behind us. The one in front of us is full of the defects of others, so they are always under our eyes while the other is filled with our defects, so invisible to our eyes.
