I am always bothered whenever I see someone criticizing another person in a loud, angry, and boisterous manner. It bothers me because, although it may have been meant to be constructive, it is, in reality, destructive for both parties. And I know thatrepparttar 122841 experience does not have to be destructive.

Whatrepparttar 122842 criticizing person fails to realize is that he is showing his ignorance. He is demonstrating his unhappiness with himself. He concentrates on what is wrong with everything instead of what is right. He does not seerepparttar 122843 sky; he seesrepparttar 122844 rainy clouds. He does not seerepparttar 122845 true potential of his wife, children, or employees; he only sees their tiny natural mistakes.

This person concentrates onrepparttar 122846 specks of dust that may be found on a masterpiece and missesrepparttar 122847 masterpiece, itself. As a result, he goes through life missingrepparttar 122848 beauty and gusto of life.

That is why real love, real, well-adjusted and true love, is so great. It stops to smellrepparttar 122849 roses, to seerepparttar 122850 ducks inrepparttar 122851 lake, to seerepparttar 122852 butterflies onrepparttar 122853 flowers. The total image is so wonderful thatrepparttar 122854 little flaws become insignificant; they are not noticed.
