Speak Evil of No One -- Really?

I love the New Testament. I think it's fair to say that I live, eat, breathe, and drink the New Testament. I honestly think that there's no piece of literature more inspiring and uplifting than the New Testament. Having said that, I have to admit that more often than not, I find myself frustrated -- and a bit annoyed -- at its content. Because the more I read the New Testament, the more I realize that God has set the bar sky-high for those that would call themselves Christ -followers. Case in point. The apostle Paul tells us in Titus 3:2 to "Speak evil of no one."
