we're a very sick culture that loves to raise people up and then tear them down. there's this seeding pessimism and self righteousness in us that loves to do that because in us we think if they came down, we're as good as they. be very, very careful about that. be very careful at your workplace that if your boss completely self destructs, there there isn't a sense of joy in that.. cuz that's sad. be very careful that you don't take gratitude and joy in human misery, and failure and fall.
be careful that you don't receive christ, and give criticism.
and some of you are in positions of leadership and it's going to be very hard for some of you to learn to have selective hearing. when some people critique, consider it instruction. if it's someone who loves you and loves god, then pay close attention. but if it's someone who just loves to cause trouble and make criticism but isn't part of making solutions, reconsider.

for me, there is caution to be taken on both ends.
