There are two kinds of feedback. The one that makes people stronger, and the one that makes people weaker.

I believe it's so much more worthwhile to be supportive. When you have any kind of an adventage over others such as when you know something better, have move experience, have more money etc., you have these two options: either use your adventages to help, or to bring down.

To ridicule is not the best method of educating others either. And a person who feels strong doesn't have to show any sign of superiority, because with true strength comes security.

I wish the author of the original question will not find it too difficult to get back on track after loosing the bag. Good luck to you.
