"After all, one knows one's weak points so well, that it's rather bewildering to have the critics overlook them and invent others"
- Edith Wharton
About this Quote
This quote by Edith Wharton speaks with the problem of being judged by others. It is often hard to accept criticism, especially when it is not what we expected. We understand our own weak points and defects, and it can be confusing when others do not recognize them. Rather, they may point out flaws that we did not even recognize we had. This can be complicated and aggravating, as we might not comprehend why they are not seeing the same weaknesses that we do. It is a tip that we must not take criticism too personally, as it is frequently subjective and based on the person's perspective.
