Criticism vs Admiration

When we encounter excellence, what prompts us to critique rather
than admire? Fr. Mike suggests that this tendency often stems from
jealousy and insecurity. He says humans are made to admire all that
is praiseworthy. When we witness remarkable talent in athletics,
academics, or the arts, we should take the opportunity to commend
the hard work and discipline that leads to greatness. God made us
to appreciate excellence and work to cultivate it in our own lives.
