I've basically come to accept that most everything that I do, including things that are basically good or at least aren't affecting others in any sort of negative way, is likely to be met with criticism from somebody. There are times when I think that some forms of criticism can help us to change things for the better, but I think that it's up to us to determine when questioning or criticism from others might be helpful and when it might be unnecessary. I think that criticism can sometimes help us to make better choices, but I think that it's also the case that even the best choices that we make aren't usually going to please everyone. So, I've found it helpful to accept that the choices that I make aren't going to please everyone. Creating some amount of distance between ourselves and those who routinely find fault with our decisions when they're basically good and not harmful to others can be a good thing, but at the same time, I wouldn't recommend taking avoiding criticism too far, because I think that unnecessary criticism is something that we can always find ourselves faced with, no matter how good the choices we make are.
