Dealing with sin

When it comes down to it, we all have certain sins that we struggle with, that we "like", that plague us.  Some are socially acceptable, others are dark and twisted, but the truth is, they are all sins, and God does not wink at or allow for any of them.
When we really understand the nature of all sins, how they all have this common theme, we will be very slow to condemn, judge or criticize. 
This ties in with previous posts I have written about focusing on dealing with our own sins and not looking at others and their sins.  Judging others is easy.  Finding fault in ourselves is not.  We always want to find some justification or excuse for ourselves.  We want to quickly condemn others and tell ourselves how much better we are than them.
It ought to be reversed.  We ought to assume that others are better than we are, that what we are seeing in others is not what it seems, that there is something else going on that justifies their actions.  Hard on ourselves, easy on others.
Of course, we want others to be this way towards us.  But are we willing to be this way toward others?
