Criticizing

About this ebook
To criticize does not mean to comment on what you do not like. Criticism is a deep experience of tasting everything around you, not just judging things as good or bad.
If you are someone who doesn’t pay much attention to criticism in life, this book aims to inspire you to appreciate the value of criticism. If you tend to be overly critical, the book aims to inspire you with a more balanced and in-depth approach to criticism.
When deep, balanced criticism becomes a spontaneous practice for you, you go beyond standing on what you previously considered annoying, and your appreciation of the value of life around you deepens.

CRITICIZING LIFE
Pointing.jpg Human civilization is built through criticism, not by accepting things as they are. Even what is described as destructive or negative criticism has an important role. Inspiring others with fruitful criticism leads to ideas and actions to address what could be a defect or to enrich civilization with absolutely new ideas and actions.
Pointing.jpg We all tend to automatically criticize everything we receive through any of our senses, but we don’t usually express our criticism directly, even to ourselves.
Pointing.jpg Determining whether or not you like what you received is the entrance to the process of criticism, which culminates in determining precisely why you like or dislike what you criticized.
