Sometimes those who silence criticism, envy or provocation do not do so for lack of arguments or courage, what happens is that when ignorance speaks, intelligence stops, laughs and walks away.
We all know that maintaining calm and moderation when we receive criticism or criticism is not easy, so much so that according to a survey published in USA Today magazine, 70% of people feel hurt by criticism, 20% face them and reject them. with rage, and only 10% think about it and let it go when it’s due. simple ignorance.
- When ignorance envies and criticizes.
- Intelligence stops.
- Looks and laughs.
- Because in the end.
- The ignorant’s disease is ignoring his own ignorance.
One of the reasons why it is so difficult to accept criticism is that people need to feel accepted and approved, one of the criticisms is the loss of that subtle personal balance sewn by pride, but when a critique has as its substrate the deepest ignorance, there is no risk to the concept itself.
We all need to know that there are discussions that are not worthwhile, when there are ears that do not listen and small spirits where explanations do not match, it is better to shut up, laugh and get carried away.
Let us begin by focusing on what we call ignorance, we are not talking about lack of culture or ignorance, the most pernicious ignorance is one that lacks closeness, empathy and sensitivity to put themselves in the shoes of the other, and where In addition, there is pleasure in making judgments laden with contempt.
The highest level of ignorance is practiced when we reject something we know nothing about, even knowing that we lack data or information, we prefer to focus on maintaining our own position rather than pursuing it, all these attitudes are nothing more than the germ of intolerance, of lack of civility, something that many of us have already experienced in our own skin.
Most complex of all, ignorance is sometimes practiced in our nearest areas, parents, and other close relatives who judge others without knowing it, without even going to find out what the interests or needs of others are. intolerance hurts, criticism hurts and offense bleeds.
However, over time, the wounds heal, people mature and eventually understand many things, understand that people do not change and that those who did not want to take the step from ignorance to knowledge is because they did not want to. With these behaviors, there is no choice but to assume the lost battle and maintain the dignity that allows our souls to be calm. The one who understands that in the end it is better to be silent, smile intelligently and distance yourself.
It is not always possible or appropriate to choose silence in the face of contempt and suffering, sometimes intelligence is forced to act to defend its integrity, it does so because sometimes it is necessary to raise our voices assertively, safely and courageously show where our own limits are.
Now let’s see what situations we need to react to
Another type of common profile is that of professional humiliators, they are people who seek to humiliate us both in public and private because they gain power, sometimes behind these behaviors there is also envy as root.
In conclusion, we all know that the most harmful ignorance is a seed that will always be born on the path of our lives, but it is only a weed. Think carefully about the battles that are worth facing and those that are not, because the important thing is never to lose your inner peace, your own calm.
Be skilful, be careful, and understand that small spirits will never understand big dreams and that there are deaf ears where smart words don’t fit.
