Critics can be tiring, but they can also serve to bring out the best in us. Once you move beyond the constant criticism and complaining that critics often engage in, you may be able to think deeply about their criticism and use that to improve the way you live and/or relate to others.
A critic in my midst hammered home a few points endlessly. Truly it felt as if someone was banging a loud gong right next to me repeatedly. My head ached from the constant barrage of critique. Yet, as with most criticism, there was some truth in that endless litany, truth I was finally able to capture after some time away from the clamorous criticism.
We need to heed the critic's call, and find the truth hidden in their often, too-loud, and troubling words. Onward.
