Self Criticism

Yes, I know. The last post was in November and I promised an insight into the dream I had. I haven tread over that dream, nor I have I bothered to write anything besides. I will not give the reasons for this as, if you have the time to scroll through the 7 odd posts i have, it is quite clear why.

I dislike being held to something that someone else has told me. And that includes myself.

I like to wallow in my own self pity, ingratiated by the fact that pitiful is as pitiful does.

My overall stance on the subject of criticism is that everyone does it. Its anothe form of judgement which has become rudely acceptable in todays world. If you want to good at something, then other peoples opinions matter. If you think you are awesome, then chances are you probably are awesome. But only to yourself. The rest of the world either doesnt know you or couldnt care less. 

We are individual pack animals. We think our ideas are brilliant and that everyone should know about and agree with them. When they dont agree we get upset and go bcak to a safety zone, usually involving people who we know will agree with us or at least not shoot down our brilliant ideas. And so we are contented.

Slipping into my pants this morning I thought, "These might be dirty." They're just fine.

Sharing my cup of coffee with my girlfriend this morning i thought, "I wonder if she cares about my saliva being in that cup." She didnt.

Seeing a guy crossing the street I was turning into on the way to work this morning I though, "Idiot should look where he's going, now I have to look out for him." He didnt care. I did.

And thats where the difference comes in.

If you care, you dont feel the need to criticise so much. It might hurt the person you are criticising.

If you dont care, criticism comes naturally. You will hurt the person you are criticising becasue you only care about yourself.
