My roomie is murmuring ancient Hebrew on the other side of the room, and Yael Naim is singing out of my headphones in modern Hebrew.
I am wondering which comes first when someone who shares your faults annoys you:
Do you first notice and dislike them in that person and through that become aware that you have those tendencies as well? Or - do you dislike them in the other person because they are your faults and it is unpleasant to see them more objectively?

ReplyDeleteQ - She's learning ancient Hebrew because she's a Bible major.
I would say it is simultaneous... the person begins doing something that really gets on my wick and then I go, "ohhhh, riiiiight...and _that_ would be why."
