I've been wondering what makes people critical of others. I hear so much criticism & meanness these days. I'm uncomfortable hearing someone try to hurt someone else. But when I think about it, I sense that the person doing the criticizing actually is expressing a flaw of their own. I don't know....I just cannot get my mind around criticism....as much as I try to analyze it. There just is no reason.
(Honest criticism is a different animal...it isn't done to hurt.)
So I asked Dan, the interpreter of the universe. He says that Eckhart Tolle says that criticism is the ego's way of re-strengthening itself. Isn't that great? I myself try so hard not to be critical because when I am, I definitely feel toxic inside. I'm quite sure that it's not healthy and that my criticism has nothing to do with the person. Yet I'm not completely pure in that regard yet. But I remember what Churchill said: "Never ever give up." And on it goes.
My philosophy is that every person has something good in them and I choose to look for that. I have no interest in focusing on their negatives. I truly believe that.
