“He has the right to criticize who has the heart to help.” -- Abraham Lincoln
It’s human to find fault.
But if you’re not prepared to be part of the answer, don’t complain about others or what’s going on in your community. By committing yourself to helping to make a difference, you gain the right to question and, if necessary, criticize activities, practices or behavior.
Negative judgments of others might very well just be a recognition of our own shortcomings in the same area. When you come to realize this, you’re really being given a positive opportunity for change in your own life and a chance to move closer to the person you were meant to be.
Don’t be a complainer. Become someone who’s got “the heart to help.” Make a difference in your own life and in that of others.
