I care, therefore I criticise

In the Chinese movie "Aftershock", a young mother of 2 is forced to give up her daughter to save her son. And since then, the cruel decision changed the whole family's destiny.

Some family members feel they have not only the right but an obligation to tell when they think someone's doing something wrong.

To the one who is being told to do things differently, what comes through loudest and clearest is the criticism. But the one offering suggestions and judgments is usually focused on the caring.

It's impossible to say which is right; both meanings are there. But I can only say this: I care, therefore I criticise.
