Are you one of those people who are always criticizing others? I know at times I catch myself being critical or thinking critical thoughts towards others. I think it is a daily battle that we all should be fighting. But there are some of us that are not fighting this battle. Whatever comes to their mind about any given individual, they let it roll right out of their mouths. Here is the biggest problem with criticizing others. Most of us don’t have the know how to combat those critical comments and are therefore bullied into trying to please people that really don’t matter. This critical spirit has forced a lot of people to become someone they’re not, and created a domino affect in every area of their lives. Criticism is a destructive and powerful force, because we all want to be accepted by others. We should use our mouths to build up our neighbor even if we see flaws in their character. You may be thinking, who is my neighbor? Well, where ever you are at any given time, just look around you. The people you see, those are your neighbors.
