Your own business

One of the many things I have learned in the Orthodox faith is that of minding one's own business.  On the surface, this sounds so unloving and self centered, but as is often the case, that is an incorrect perception.
To mind ones own business means to not be looking around, trying to point out everyone else's sins and struggles.  We all have our own sins that should take a huge amount of our time to address, if we are doing it right.
I have to admit this is not an easy thing for me to do.  Refraining from looking around and instead looking within at my own sin.  Fighting our own flesh, learning to love and not judge others and learning to follow the lead of the Church instead of our own desires, these are the most difficult.
Right or wrong, people don't like unsolicited advice.  It is not received well.  We are called to love God and neighbor, not correct neighbor or try to be God.
God has provided us the church to lead and direct us.  God has protected the church, he has led the church, and he is purifying the church.  The church is not man's idea or invention.  It is the body of Christ, of which we are part, to our growth and sanctification.  We can be part of her and become more like Christ, or we can follow our own passions and end up like the world.
This fact alone should remind us of how much work we have to do in our own lives, without trying to correct everyone else.
