It’s best to avoid criticizing anyone.
Compliments work better,
And sometimes silence is
The best form of criticism available.
I’ve known people who have said
Bad things to and about me
Who cannot take criticism themselves.
Most people are one-way streets.
And it’s better not to spend your time
Dodging head-on traffic.
If you stay silent, people will eventually
Make fools of themselves without your help.
