Radi kritiziramo in obsojamo. To samo mori dobro v človeku. Ljudje bi bili boljši, ako bi jih mi bolj ljubili. Proti zlu ne delamo z zgražanjem in kritiziranjem, amapk z ljubeznijo. Bolje je prižgati luč, kakor preklinjati temo. Ljubiti dobre ni težko.

Če bomo ljubili slabe, bodo postali boljši. Jezus je celo naročil, naj ljubimo svoje sovražnike. Po naši ljubezni tudi sovražniki lahko postanejo naši prijatelji.

Ni pa vsaka kritika slaba. Treba je upoštevati  navodila, ki nam jih je dal Jezus. Sami moramo dati dober zgled, v čemer želimo, naj bi se drugi poboljšal. To velja za vse vzgojitelje. Posebej za starše. Ne smemo gledati iver v očesu svojega brata, pri tem pa ne opaziti “bruna v svojem očesu”.

Jezus naroča: “Odstrani najprej bruno iz svojega očesa

in potem boš razločno videl odstraniti iver iz očesa svojega brata.”

7 ¹ “Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged. ² For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you. ³ Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye? ⁴ Or how will you tell your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye;’ and behold, the beam is in your own eye? ⁵ You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye.

English: World English Bible - WEB
7 The way of the just is uprightness: you that are upright do direct the path of the just. ⁸ Yes, in the way of your judgments, Yahweh, have we waited for you; to your name, even to your memorial name, is the desire of our soul. ⁹ With my soul have I desired you in the night; yes, with my spirit within me will I seek you earnestly: for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. ¹² Yahweh, you will ordain peace for us; for you have also worked all our works for us. ¹⁶ Yahweh, in trouble have they visited you; they poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them. ¹⁷ Like as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs; so we have been before you, Yahweh. ¹⁸ We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen. ¹⁹ Your dead shall live; my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast forth the dead.
