Criticism vs correction

What’s the difference between criticism and correction?

  • Criticism seeks to tear down; correction seeks to build up.
  • The one criticizing feels some pleasure in saying what they say; the one correcting only finds pleasure in helping their friend change for the better.
  • Criticism is often a habitual thing. Correction is only done when necessary.
  • Critics often rush to offer their opinions. Those seeking to correct usually do so with some reluctance.
