An eagerness to expose people's faults is a base human trait. Aybjo' is one who seeks out people's faults. Aybgo' is one who has made telling people's faults his trade. Heedlessness is not a becoming quality, but it is necessary to pretend not to see people's shortcomings. Before the faults of others, one should appear somewhat heedless. People's shortcomings are of two kinds: those that can be corrected and those that cannot. Correctable faults, in turn, are divided into two parts: those corrected at once and those corrected over a long time. A wise person understands certain mistakes the moment he hears a rebuke. To eliminate certain faults, guidance, advice and help are needed. If a fault is seen in someone, the one who sees it should think about how long it will take to correct this shortcoming. If it cannot be corrected right away, one should not mention that fault to its owner even with the intention of reforming him. For faults that take a long time to correct are also of three kinds: the first are corrected as a result of advice and explanations; the second are corrected through life experience and the passing of time; the third are corrected only through supervision and strict upbringing. The most curious thing is that most of the faults of the children of Adam require a long time, advice, time and upbringing to be corrected. Very rarely do people admit their fault at the first reproach and correct it. On the contrary, people quickly come to dislike the one who points out their mistake. Whether it is said behind their back or to their face. It follows from this that exposing people's faults does not give the expected result. If people keep incessantly exposing one another's faults, those faults are not corrected; they flare up; kindness and loyalty vanish. The excellent person is one who does not babble about people's faults. The most excellent is one who does not see people's faults. More excellent still is the person who is busy only with reforming himself and his own family.
