If evil be spoken of you and it be true, correct yourself, if it be a lie, laugh at it. ~ Epictetus
No one likes criticism. But often times, criticism contains truth.
Could you get upset at the delivery of the critical comment? Sure. But you’d be missing the point. Unless you’re relating to someone incapable of relationships, which would need criticism in and of itself, then their offering of critical feedback presents a learning opportunity.
Will you judge the deliverer, or listen to the content? Don’t miss the opportunity for growth because something stings. Because usually if something stings, healing is needed.
