It is irking. Nobody cares to be corrected every time they turn around. To refrain from correcting is a virtue that has a definite, positive effect when it comes to the relationship with one's partner and/or children.

Somehow my 1st post got lost in cyberspace,so I repost.
We all fall into the trap of constantly correcting someone. There are times when correction is needed. But as for constantly correcting others (nagging, if you will)... I feel that it is easy for me to..(.a-hem)...'correct' and it takes tremendous strength to refrain from correcting. Whenever I realize I am in that rut, I get quiet and ask to know why I am doing it, and for the strength to deal with what is inside causing me do that. It requires great strength, this inner person stuff deaing with "the Human Condition" LOL When I think of it,many times the so-called correcting is just to get others to do things my way so I won't feel uncomfortable.LOL anonimousinnewengland
Charles you seem to wake and write rather early in the day, which is disquietening. Sleep is a heavenly gift which we should accept and use lavishly . .
As to correcting our fellow-men, -'do not judge, lest ye be judged' points in that direction. A piece of wisdom which hasn't sunk in much into christian minds, in spite of wellnigh 2000 years of being around . .

and if and when they do learn, how remarkable it will be to know that anothers silence, was the greatest teacher.
