Summary

This quote suggests that when someone is facing emotional pain or difficulties, they tend to express their distress through criticism. It highlights the idea that hurt individuals often project their feelings onto others instead of dealing with their own pain. By understanding this behavior, we can approach criticisms with empathy and compassion, recognizing that it may stem from personal struggles rather than genuine assessment. It reminds us to have patience and understanding towards others, especially during times of visible distress.

Do not ever say that the desire to do good by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity are good motives.
