The world is made up of various elements, and beings adhere to one of those elements. Whatever they adhere to, there cling to those elements and say ours is the only truth, all others are false.
The Buddha in 'Sakkapanha sutta'

taste anything that is sour. one who enjoys sour taste says it is good. one who dislikes sour taste says it is bad. sour taste itself will not be prejudiced toward one and give him a bad feeling. nor will it be biased toward another and give him a good feeling. sour taste itself has equanimity for all. it is mind that says it likes sour taste. it is mind that says it dislikes sour taste.

Concepts say it is man, or beings, or riches. In the ultimate truth these are only matter, or physical phenomena. That which knows matter is mind, or mental phenomena.

The truth is that suffering of birth, old age, sickness and
death is unavoidable. Some fortunate people may now be
enjoying relatively happy and carefree lives, but it is only
a matter of time before they, too, will experience suffering.
What is worse, this suffering must be born alone

As a silversmith sifts dust from silver,
remove your own impurities
little by little.
Or as iron is corroded by rust
Your own mischief will consume you.
Whatever a fool learns,
it only makes him duller.
Knowledge cleaves his head.
For then he wants recognition,
a place before other people,
a place over other people.
How easy it is to see your brother's faults,
How hard to face your own.
You winnow his in the wind like chaff,
but yours you hide,
Like a cheat covering up an unlucky throw.
Dwelling on your brother's faults
Multiplies your own.
You are far from the end of your journey.
Joy surely follows one like the never-leaving shadow
However !!!
- if with evil intention one thinks, speak or act
Pain certainly follows one like the wheel follows the car.
if with good intention one thinks, speak or act

What others do, did, or left undone is irrelevant.
