The difficulty of receiving and delivering rebuke

Hi,

"Rabbi Tarfon said: I would be stunned if anyone in this generation would accept rebuke. If one would say, ‘Take a splinter from between your eyes,’ he would reply, ‘Take a beam from between your eyes.’

"Rabbi Elazar ben Azaryah said: I would be stunned if anyone in this generation would know how to deliver rebuke."

(Talmud, Arachin 16b)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
