T*IHt-THICK AIVMIHUM SIT Dr. Herbert Spaugh Everyday Counselor The hardest thing most of us do is to take criticism. Few of us can do it without becoming nettled or irritated. There is an interesting story in' the Bible about King David who was retreating from Jerusalem as a result of the rebellion led by his son, Absalom. On the way a man named Shimei, who for some un known reason had a grievance against David, swore at the King and threw stones at him. A member of David’s bodyguard asked per mission to capture Shimei and cut off his head. David merely re plied, “Let him curse.” 1 The best way to treat a person who abuses or criticizes you is to ignore him. Don’t let him know that you are disturbed by his re marks. Refuse to give him the satisfaction of hav ing you answer back. Argument is generally use less and a waste of time. When we try to get even, we consume our energy and gradually embitter our spirits. Worst of all, we are in danger of de scending to the level of the one who attacks us. In most cases, when a person treats you un fairly, you do not need to defend yourself. Intelli gent people will judge your life by what you do, not by what some slanderous gossiper has said. Then go a step further and pray for the one who . abuses or criticizes you. That’s what Jesus said do: “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do Celebrates Birthday On Saturday afternoon 17 small children gathered on the lawn of - ,, Mr. and Mrs. Guy Prater to honor i 00 ^ 10 them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use their daughter, Cindy, on her 5th y° u . *nd persecute you.” . He laid that down as the Christian stand birthday. The group enjoyed a va- 1 ®f conduct, riety of outdoor games led by Miss I 1 w** once an arm y chaplain attached to an artillery unit in the Eugenia Byars and Mrs. E. J. Wil- da y* before artillery was motorized and mules were still used for drawing artillery. This advice was passed out to those who had to encounter mules: “If you have a kicking mule, get so close to him that he can’t kick you, or get so far away that he can’t kick you.” Criticism has its place if it is intelligent criticism. There is a story concerning Apelles, an early Greek artist, who put his paintings on public exhibition and hid behind a curtain where he could hear the comments of those who looked at it. A shoemaker studied one of the canvasses thoughtfully and remarked that Apelles had made a mistake in the way he painted a shoe. The artist decided the cobbler was a better judge of shoes than a painter, so that night he corrected the error. The next day the shoemaker looked at the picture again. Delight ed that his comment had been heeded, he made an unfavorable criti cism of another aspect of the picture. This time Apelles knew the man was talking in conceited ignorance. Rushing from behind the curtain, he exclaimed, “Cobbler, stick to your last” He meant that one should limit his criticism to matters on which he has accurate in formation. Learn to take criticism intelligently, not foolishly. ers.
