"This post screams for a smart ass 'your a fag' type response," it says to me. Pushing this demon aside, your point is right on the money. No one can truly grow or become better without legitimate criticism. If you only listen to people who agree with you, progress halts. The key lies in learning to discern between the honest constructive criticism and the meaningless rants of the self-important that only want to hear, or read, themselves. Like you said, no one is perfect, be brave enough to learn from people that challenge you. My most immediate response wells up from the spring of smart ass that dwells inside. “This post screams for a smart ass ‘your a fag’ type response,” it says to me.

Constructive criticism can only make a person better. Many of the things I have learned in my many years has come from doing the wrong things and someone letting me know. I learned the right way by doing it incorrectly. For instance loaning money to a female sibling. I learned to never do it again! haha I agree with you Tyler.
