Seems to be something about hypocrisy. I have no idea what you're getting at.

Here's the whole quotation:

Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam in thy own eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

And here's the message to which I responded:

Egregiousness, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder

Not sure why there is a focus on "hypocrisy" rather than on the obvious linking element, which is "eye." Just as I wasn't sure why the previous poster thought a citation I provided was about political asylum rather than a particular person who IMHO represented an immigration problem. But whatever.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
