T a Offering constructive criticism to others can be beneficial but only if the other person is receptive to our M l S M j t t S f f M 1 P commen|S in teaching situations or during on the job training constructive criticism is usually necessary to instruct and help a person develop a trade or vocation However correcting someone even in a kind or skillful manner can be very challenging since we are never sure how the individual may react Many friendships and families have been destroyed because someone has been overly critical of another person s words or actions Knowing when we should offer our comments can also be difficult and we should be fairly certain that our comments are truthful and necessary It often seems so easy to criticize others because we mistakenly believe that we are without fault or are such experts on most everything The Bible tells us that we look at the specK n our brother s eye but we pay no attention to the log in our own (Luke 6 41) Faultfinding and being overly critical of others especially behind their backs are wrong and can become habit forming However kind words are good for the soul and help to build a person up
