Critical thinking allows to penetrate behind the facade, the front.
We all have fuzzy thinking most of the time. But critical thinking allows you to think more objectively and rationally. But what is objective and rational to one person may not be so to another.
Unfortunately, critical thinkers can be sinners and saints.
Warmongers will tell you that they are critical thinkers too.
A critical thinking skill is a tool. You can use it to cause harm or you can use it to do good.

Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively andskillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation,experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action. In its exemplary form, it is based on universal intellectual values that transcend subject matter divisions: clarity, accuracy, precision, consistency, relevance, sound evidence, good reasons, depth,breadth, and fairness.
Critical Thinking makes me understand life and the people around me.

it teaches you how to think out stuff. say you get a trivia question and you obviously have no idea what the answer is, but with the ability to deduce information from the question you may be able to come to a reasonably well educated guess.
