Madeleine LEngleIt takes too much energy to be against something unless it's really important.
About This Quote
Sometimes we can be so quick to judge and criticize. Maybe it is time to take a step back and reassess our stance on a particular issue. Sometimes the energy that we spend being against something is energy that we could be putting towards something else. In other words, to criticize something all you have to do is to put the focus onto something else, and then you’ve done your part.
