...2 a : inclined to criticize severely and unfavorably b : consisting of or involving criticism
Sometimes I feel bad for people. This time I'm thinking about the people who are so critical. It doesn't matter who or what they are being critical about, it's just the fact they are being critical. I think critical people are pretty selfish. They are usually the type of person that thinks they can do it all better. Really, when it comes down to it, critical people are in big time bondage and are lacking some major JOY. Yeah, I know a lot of critical people. Sheesh, do I ever. Meanies. I bet they don't even know how critical the really are. Sad really. I can actually pick a critical person out of a crowd. They are typically not humble and often times have an awful and unpleasant facial expression. Some are sneakier with a fake a cutsie smile here and there to trick on-lookers. I know these things because I've been critical of people before. Actually, I've probably been critical quite a bit in my silly little life. Now that I realize it, I'm going to turn from that evil way and stop killing my fun.
Don't mistake what I am saying here peeps- on the flip side- There is a type of critical thinking that can be purposeful. It can be a wise, reflective judgment about what to believe or what to do in response to observations and experience. Totally different topic.
"...I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete."
