"X묻은 개가 Z묻은 개를 나무란다."(The dung-stained dog reproaches the chaff-stained dog.)

영어로 작역하면 "The dung-stained dog reproaches the chaff-stained dong."이 된답니다.
오리지날 영어속담에는 이 문구가 "The pot's calling the kettle black."(솥이 주전자보고 검다고 비난한다.)로 표현되기도 하지요.

A pot blackened from use over open fires

(야외에서 장작 불을 지펴 검게 그을은 솥의 모습/ 자료출처:Wikipedia)
 
이런 표현도 있답니다.
"People who lives in glass houses should not throw stone."(유리로 만든 집에 사는 사람이라면  결코 돌을 던져선 안된다.)

마가렛 미첼(Margaret Mitchell)이 썼고 영화로 더 유명해진 "바람과 함께 사라지다."(Gone with the wind)에 보면 "The pot's calling the kettle black."(시커먹게 그을은 솥이 주전자보고 검다고 한다니까.)란 문구가 등장하네요.

성경(The Bible)마태복음(Gospel of Matthew) 7.3절에 보면 예수님께서 하신 산상설교(the Sermon on the Mount) 말씀 중에 아주 유명한 표현이 전해 옵니다.

"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?"
(어찌하여 네 눈에 있는 들보/나무판자는 못 보면서 네 형제의 눈에 있는 티끌/작은 티끌/톱밥만 보느냐?)

그렇습니다. 남을 비난하거나 비판하기 전에 자기자신의 허물에 대하여 먼저 객관적으로 살펴 보아야 합니다.

부족 한 부분은 서로 감싸고 보완해서 Win-Win해야겠지요.

사람마다 호불호도 있고 싫어하는 사람 좋아하는 사람있고  천차만별인 것이 인간세상 아니겠습니까?

어느 한 사람 개인취향에 맞추어 억지춘향 식으로 일을 진행하다 보면 힘이 분산되고 조직은 오합지졸, 붕당으로 빠져든다고 생각합니다.

조직과의 조화 그리고 화합을 해치는 사람이 있다면 지위고하를 막론하고 "읍참마속"해야 합니다.

국가이익을 위해서라면 심지어 사형수라도 비밀리에 활용하는 것이 "총성 없는 전쟁"에서 이길 수 있는 비책이기도 합니다.

사회적으로 덕망이 높고 만인으로부터 존경받는 그런 분이 지적하고 비판하고 반대한다면 수용할 수 있는 여지가 많겠지만 반대의 경우라면 최악의 시나리오가 만들어지는 거지요.
우리의 치명적인 내부 문제점이기도 합니다.  

국제무대에서 한국을 잘 파악하고 있는 리더 중 한 분이 우리 조직 문제점의 유일한 아킬레스 건이라고 지적한 점도 바로 이 속담내용과 일맥상통 합니다.

장점만 취해서 함께 나갈 때 우리는 Synergy효과라고 부르고 "될성 부른 조직의 힘"이라고 지칭하지요.

단점 없는 사람 어디 있습니까?

우리속담 한 귀절이 떠오릅니다. "The dung-stained dog reproaches the chaff-stained dog."

 

A pot blackened from use over open fires(솥이 얼마나 더 검은지 보시죠.)

 국가대사, 국가 아젠다를 바로 코 앞에 두고 국가적으로 이러한 불합리와 비효율과 억지논리를 제어하고 재정비하지 않는다면 배가 어디로 갈지 아찔합니다.

"나무아미타불 관세음보살~"
