Critical Thinker

A time I would say I exhibited characteristics of a critical thinker was when I had to make a important decision. I had noticed many things going wrong within my relationships with some of my friends. Before I could come up with a final decision, I had to first get everyone's side of the story. After I listened to everyone's story I then had to put my critical thinking skills to work. I had to ask myself multiple questions, such as Am I ready to risk loosing those who are important to me over little things?. That then made me think how short life really is and how hurt I would be if anything was to happen to one of them. That's when I realized the petty drama occurring in our relationships can be worked out.
