Explaining vs. Censuring

The importance of explaining with kindness and compassion.

The importance of explaining with kindness and compassion.

The importance of explaining their faults to others rather than censuring can never be over-emphasized. People do wrong things because they do not understand that they are doing wrong things.

    Censuring only prevents others from doing wrong out of fear of getting hurt. After the censuring they may not even understand exactly what they did wrong and continue to do it when the opportunity arises and no one is there to censure them. It can breed resentment in the censured due to the harm it causes them through hurtful words and humiliation.

    Explaining to others with kindness and compassion however helps them to clear up whatever is preventing them from seeing the wrong they are doing. This way there is no harm to oneself or the other party through having to resort to anger. It is far more powerful to convince someone that they are doing something wrong and correcting them rather than using forceful and harmful means. When explaining a healthy discussion can ensue and one can find if one’s views are wrong too!

    Hope this explanation was helpful! :)
