How Criticism Kills Happiness

My wife pointed out today that I can be quick to criticize.

I was at Chick-fil-A and noticed that the kids' meals have an educational gift that can be exchanged for an ice cream cone.

I said, "I don't like it that I have to choose between education and ice cream."

She rightly said, "So quick to criticize."

And I missed out on the nature of the gift: to bring joy and happiness! Not critique and dissatisfaction!

What are you criticizing that is in turn killing your happiness?
