CRITICISM NOT CURATIVE

Critics, too often, only jar and
hurt. Most criticism does not the
slightest good 1t just irritates. 1t is
in no sense curative.
1t is an old saying that only your
best friend will tell you your faults.
That is a doubtful statement. Most
people who tell you your faults are
not your best friends, but folks who
take a special delight in presuming
upon acquaintanceship, They some
times "kid" themselves that it is their
duty. But it is not. 1t is simply a
desire to eXalt the superiority COM
plex at the expense of their friends.
Under cover Of pretended friendship
they simply crafty themselves by
telling you your failings. Deep down
they are simply gossips.
The facat is the average man OF
woman knows his or her own faults
better than anybody. If he or she
does not correct them it may be be-
cause it is impossible or some other
less worthy reason. At any rate
your pointed reference to them IS
more likely to hinder than to help
If you don't know how to handle
personal criticism in the proper fash
ion, just lay off Spend your time IL
correcting your own faults.-W. c. F
