BE CAUTIOUS BEFORE BEING CRITICAL

One thing I am learning this year is that it is good to know what you are talking about before you speak critically about someone or something. When we speak in ingorance, we run the risk of conveying the wrong message, leading others astray, and lying unintentionally. It is better to have an understanding of the subject before you offer any negative criticism. You never know, you may agree where you thought you would have disagreed. What is easier: to parrot what others have said or do the hard work of studying things out for yourself "to see if these things are so"?
