And why worry about a speck in your friend's eye when you have a log in your own?
The Bible tells us not to gossip and yet how often we find ourselves talking about someone elses problems. Not only talking, but even scheming to "help" them out of their mess. It sure is a lot easier to deal with other people's problems than take the time to work on our own.
And get a bunch of guys together and between them they can solve the worlds issues. They know what needs to be done to fix the financial problems of the country. They have it all figured out. And politics? They know just what needs to be done to straighten out the mess from the top down. Just ask them. They even know more about sports teams than the managers of each team. They should get a direct line to each manager so they can tell them who to play when.
They can "solve" all those issues and yet many have financial crises of their own, problems with their families, and repairs just waiting for someone to take care of them. Thus proving that it is easier to worry about a speck in your friend's eye when you have a log in your own.
So instead of solving all the problems of our friends and the world we should stop wasting the little time we have in idle chatter. Instead we should focus on our walk with Jesus. Holy Spirit will guide us along the path laid out for us to take. He will order our steps so we can take care of all our issues and are available to do whatever the Father has for us to do each day.
