Criticism
Two questions:Why do we criticize?
When do we criticize?
My take is that if I, which is very seldom, criticize, it is for the purpose of improving a situation. I find it a very effective tool in making things right or better.
What about you, do you ever criticize?
Thanks all for your participation. have a good day everyone.

Now I know why it is called constructive, not destructive. Maybe it takes a lot of thinking to do the right thing before we do criticize.
In other words, gather facts before you make your point.
I am not perfect, no one is, therefore if I am told in a very nice way, that I am wrong and I can improve the situation, I would gladly do that.
Thanks for your comment.
I ,like to comment for 2 reasons
First because your comment on my bi polar blog was /is very nice and posative.
Second to address the subject criticize.
You mentioned constructive .I,m a singer and when you perform you can,t hear yourself.
So over the years some times poeple have said that was to load or the speakes were to near our table.
I welcome that because it,s constructive and I,ve adjusted .
It helps one to improve and be a better person .
If and when I am corrected .
It make's me happy to know that someone cares .
No one is perfect. We are all born with defects or flaw so to speak, but growing really do allow us to improve ourselves. I am willing to learn and admit when I am wrong.
Good Blog LJ
I think it's more of a positive attitude that helps us understand.
Uplifting, I like that.
Have a good day everyone.
If there is going to be critisism let it be for the benefit of change, improvement or enlightenment! I am a firm believer in truth and sometimes truth can come of to those who dont like truth as critisism .
So my thing is for me personally i can accept constructive critisism if its got merit to it and i can use it as enlightment to be better... but as we know amiga truth and critisism to some is like throwing holy water on a vampire it just burns!
Keep flaming them amiga! Lol
With dye respect, I do believe there's a form of constructive criticism. I have been both in many a times on both sides of the critique as well as the one who is criticised. None of those instances were bad at all.
I think it's not as much as the goal accomplished in such a criticism as much as how it is done and when.
With my personal experiences, I've learned a lot from those that pointed to me how I can do it better or improve the situation. Not forced in, but with the premise of "if I were you" scenario.
No one is perfect. If our goal is to learn then the importance of mentor to a student is necessary.
The issue of being constantly criticizing others is wrong. I wouldn't be around where there's no motivation for appreciation. No.
Anything that fosters balance in any situation or relationship is good.
I wouldn't approve anyone who puts down others as a way of criticizing.
Bottom line. Seek balance and improve. Foster a healthy environment. In everything we do, it must be for the good of ourselves and humanity.
As always you make an execellent point ..i guess im going to have to start handing out kleenex everytime you write the truth lol i think your blogs are real genuine,truthful and empowering ... definitely not for the faint at heart who cant handle it
I think allot of people look at constructive critism as a negative thing! Critisism alone to mentally hurt someone is way different then someone constructively enlightening another particularly to build them up to be better. True no one likes to be told that their doing something wrong in fact someone who lies to them or turns a blind eye on wrong seems to be better recieved than one is truthful
No one is perfect
However if no one ever stepped in and made suggestions or offered up knowledge to a better way than where would we all be in this world just wallowing in mistakes and failures
if someone says fire burns that experienced it and a person doesnt listen then what can you do?
Even Coaches and Teacher, Parents, Sibings, Friends, ect if they truelly care is going to tell you what you need to hear not always what you want to hear! Imagine the drivers instructors if the students didnt take advice lol we would all be in trouble on the road lol
I guess some people just cant take honesty
Lj im going to have to start handing out tissues everytime you blog Amiga
