It is 2020 and we still have people who don't know the difference between criticizing someone's work and criticizing the person who did the work.
Nobody is perfect and nobody should be expected to be perfect. People should try their best and apply themselves for whatever situation they may be in.
All parts of life comes with criticism. People make mistakes that need to be corrected. But to correct a mistake is to tell the person what they did wrong and how to improve it instead of telling them that they are worthless and a poor excuse for a human. Because believe it or not people are told those things.
if you're in the position to do so, give constructive criticism to the work the person is doing so they can improve. Do not criticize them as a person. I see a lot of critics that do not understand this. Especially when it comes to music.
Criticize the music, not the singer. Criticize the movie, not the actor. Criticize the poem, not the poet. Nobody should have to fear criticism in any role.
I always see comments where people say that famous people should expect criticism and no they should not. Yes, they're going to get people who are extremely rude to them, but it shouldn't be something that comes with the job.
Why can't we as humans just learn to respect others. Why is this such a hard reality to grasp? One day, I hope that everybody can get along without having to tear others down.
You never know what somebody might be going through. Adding criticism to the mix to them as a person only results in extra pain for them. You would not like if somebody was rude to you. You would probably want to throw it back to them. But if they did the same, you would be probably very annoyed.
So the lesson of this article is: be nice to people.
