"Criticism, meet Decision"; "Decision, meet Criticism"

"Criticism, meet Decision"; "Decision, meet Criticism"

Yes, I know you have met many times before and spent much time walking hand in hand. And while your hands have clasped together in confused alliance the meeting of your minds has created little of value.

I'm not blaming you...just pointing out a facet of the human condition.

As I observe you, it seems to me the two of you are self-blinded by biases. Each of you is laced up with the self-tied thoughts of the other. Each struggling to communicate unless speaking the assaulting language of the other.

You share a primary goal - 'Protect Self From Others'.

As a result, regardless of the motives you perceive, you provide little of value to others.

It seems you are destined to compete with everyone you touch.

Thought Tweet #978

Thought Tweet #978 When it comes to delivering criticism it is better to conclude every little bit hurts rather than every little bit helps.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

When they deliver criticism, some people like to lay it on thick.

They seem oblivious to the fact nobody likes to receive it that way.
