Sweetness can cause sickness. Praise is sweet, but too much of it can cause one to be sick. Criticism can be likea bitter pill or a painful injection. It is unpleasant surely, but it can do us good. Remember that no one can really be free from it, not even great people. Criticism is futile because it puts us on the defensive and usually makes us strive to defend ourselves. But then, criticism is dangerous because it wounds our precious pride, hurts our sense of importance and arouses our resentment. But there is a constructive side to criticism. We should listen to criticism, especially if they are constructive, and welcomethe opportunity for self improvement. We should restrain our ego and not harbour hatred against the critic.We must not be quick to label those who do not share our views as our enemies. Not all who criticise us are our enemies. Therefore, adopt a positive attitude and listen intently to the messages of the criticism.
