Should we criticise people or the opinion they have?
"To avoid criticism do nothing, say nothing, be nothing. " This is a quote from Elbert Hubbard.
Generally, I feel that we should not criticise people or their opinions. Different individuals have different perspective of things and see things in a different way, thus having different opinions. This is similar to the quote " Beauty is in the eye of the beholder " What one finds beautiful, the other may not. Hence, we should respect people's opinion and not criticise them because their opinion differ from yours.
Firstly, as friends, we should not criticise each other. As true friendship involves a shared sense of caring and concern and a desire to see one another grow and develop, we should not criticise but help our friends. Criticising our friends would only make them more demoralized. As friends, we should respect their views and opinions.
Secondly, when we step into society, we should watch our mouths and not criticise people because of differing opinions. To be successful in society, one must have people supporting you. If you always criticise people, people will not respect you and support you. In this society, being tolerant is also very crucial. All the people come from different backgrounds, for example, some people come from rich families while others come from poor families. People have different cultures and behaviour. Hence, everyone will have differing opinions because of the differnce in wealth, education and culture.
Thirdly, as humans, we should give each race and religion equal respect. For example, the whites should not criticse the blacks and vise versa. Religion and race is a very sensitive topic, thus, if we criticse people without thinking twice, disaster would be sure to ensue. For example, if the whites keep criticising the blacks, a riot or strike may occur. Everyone have their own weaknesses and strength and we should help each other.
However, even though criticisng people is unwise, sometimes we have to step in when it concerns fundamental truths. For example, if a person says " Murdering is the key to success " We should not just stay back and listen to him. We should criticise him and point out his mistake or he would go on with the wrong concept that murdering is the key to success.
In conclusion, I feel that criticisng people is not good. However, if the need arises, we should step in and voice out.
