light

Proverbs 11:12
It is foolish to belittle one’s neighbor;
a sensible person keeps quiet.

If you think advice would be helpful for someone else, then it takes great skill to actually earn the open attention from them to hear what you would like to share. If you want to criticize or show how much more you know than them, just know no one appreciates it deep down and you appear foolish, though people might not share that because they figure you wouldn’t hear it anyway.

As Stephen Covey once wrote, “Be a light instead of a judge.”

Pray for God to quiet your judgments.
