Something about glass and stones???

The prompt for today read, "Tenants of vitreous abodes, ought not to hurl lithoidal fragments." A scientific way of saying, "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones."
This basically means that you shouldn't point out the flaws in others when you are flawed as well. Usually when someone finds a flaw in the character of another, it is because they find flaws in themselves; thus, bringing the focus on the victim rather than the perpetrator. In most cases, people would think of the cliche phrase 'Two wrongs don't make a right.' and act upon that. If you're having rocks thrown at you, are you going to run, or are you going to throw rocks back? Then, you are both considered people throwing rocks at each other's glass houses. One is no better than the other.
Now I must go study for a Psychology test that I have in a mere few minutes. Au revoir!
