What was watching the Super Bowl like at your house? We all can get high-spirited and enthusiastic about different things, some more than others. I love to be around people that are excited and passionate about whatever they love, as long as it isn't disagreeable to me.
The caption above sends more of a message to me about our criticism of others. I know I've used the phrase 'what an idiot' more times than I can count. I'm not saying it wasn't true, but it does speak arrogance. When we think 'they should have done it this way, not like that' then we can come across as a know-it-all.
Some people confuse criticism as advice. They are not the same. Advice is well intended and hopefully preventative to a downfall. Criticism is negative, accusatory, and a hindsight opinion.
I know we all have opinions and there is nothing wrong with that. When they become harsh and judgmental, maybe we should stop and take a look at our heart. Not everything we think should come out of our mouths.
AMEN!! and Sometimes its OOOH ME, there is a fine line between the two. DAD
ReplyDeleteSo true! And sometimes my opinions pop out a bit too freely. Soooo glad my words aren't on YOu tube... ha!
ReplyDeleteI think we all can get critical too quickly sometimes. Mom
ReplyDeleteYeah, like men who drive and criticize. How can they do that? :O. Am I being critical of them? I know, I'm not looking inward but otherward. It's time to look inside myself! Thanks, Angie.
ReplyDeleteOkay, there you go again....with the tongue!! I agree with Cathie....sooooo glad my words are not on u-tube! We had a great time at our house watching the Super Bowl, though, because I really did not care which team won....just wanted to see a good game. That was debatable for a while, but got better. We had people on opposite sides, but that just made it more interesting. Now if the Razorbacks had lost by three points, you might have heard me screaming at your house!! I'm passionate like that, LOL!! Trying to learn when to speak and when not to appear a fool. Love you, T.
