taking a break, you are right, unfortunately for some people it is easier to criticize than to empathize. It may come from a mentality of “I am right”, and from caring only about myself, and with such a mentality, people refuse to see how others can be right, or even the pain of other people. I think if people would be able to see the effects of their criticism and see the hurt the are causing from always trying to defend and justify themselves at the expense of others, they may change their outlook. But it’s difficult to see that far ahead, especially for someone like that. Thanks for posting this. I can use your post for myself as well, since I sometimes unfortunately refuse to see the views of others when I think I am right, so it’s something I really can work on. Thanks again!
