“Be so busy
improving yourself that you have no time to criticize others.”
-Chetan
Bhagat
How easily we
criticize others? We don’t even think what he or she will think when will
criticize? In normal routine everyday day we criticize the way someone eats,
walks, speaks and laughs forgetting our life’s pursuit. When you point out the
finger on others to criticize, at the same time your own four fingers of same
hand point out towards you. Before criticizing we have to look at ourselves
first.
We focus on
the most minute details and find fault with the smallest of issues. But what we
focus on grows. And if we keep focusing on small weakness in someone, it will
continue to grow in our minds until we perceive it to be a big problem in that
person. Out of busy life, from where we get the time to criticize others? Are
we complete in all respects? Answer of course! Not.
No one is
complete in the world; everyone has born with some loop falls. Would you really
want to live in a world where everyone looked, acted and thought exactly as you
do? It would be a pretty boring place. To live a happier, more peaceful life,
begin to see that the richness of our society comes from its diversity. What
makes relationships, communities and countries great are not the things that we
have in common but the differences that make us unique. Rather than looking for
things to criticize in those around you, why not begin to respect the
differences? From now stop blaming, condemning and criticizing.
Accept
complete responsibility for the way things are and resolve to work on changing
yourself before seeking to change others. Be a man of strong character. As
Erica Jong said, “Take your life into your own hands and what happens? A
terrible thing: no one to blame.”
