“mote” as in a speck of dust
“beam” as in a huge plank of wood
Basically don’t point out small faults of your neighbor while ignoring huge faults of your own.
It’s a metaphor. No one has a beam in their eye. But it’s a metaphor that drops suddenly in the second half, because you can literally imagine a mote in someone’s eye.

Idk I can picture a jagged 2x4 giving me a Phineas Gage style impromptu lobotomy just fine.
