Criticism – in brief

Self Motivation is the Best Solution

Criticism is not allegation rather as dictionary says ‘Disapproval expressed by pointing out faults or shortcomings, in other words A serious examination and judgement of something.’ Some welcome criticism on the other hand some deem it obstruction. Constructive criticism open the way of creation of new product with a new invention and new dimension on the other hand criticism which is based on revenge, myopic are the result of ignorance. A learned critic can never be deadly since he researches the creation from all angles then discuss upon it. Ignorant criticizes without digging out the realities express their views which sometimes prove fatal.

We criticize either on personality or the ideas etcetera. When we look up at ones personality we express his stature, his posture, his manner, what the ideas seeps out about  the personality becomes also matter of criticism. In our day today life,  In stead of  highlighting couple of good deeds of  kid before his parents if some spill the beans of  his bad company, his bad manner can be called constructive criticism. Though some don’t like such criticism.

We can succeed in crossing even dilapidated street, pitfall but crossing path of environment of our society  is an uphill task. There are lot of rocks of prejudice, bigotry , partiality comes in the way and we have to cross all over these hurdles. In fact the ideas, thought, feelings that germinate  in our social journey  invokes criticism. Nobody in our surrounding is left untouched of it. Even the poet of the verse

‘Magus Ko Baagh Mein Jaane Na Dena 
 Ke Na Haq Khoon Parwane Ka Hoga.

Even today Allama Iqbal is questioned for his patriotism, love for humanity because  critic had  not found even a single line which Allama Iqbal might have expressed on the massacre of Jaliawala Bagh whereas all his contemporary writers, poets had grieved on this incident. Other critic refuted it but had failed to produce the evidence in his support.

If we create something with bad intention we should expect constructive criticism similarly if we create something with  good intention we should also be ready for criticism from ignorant. When an artist assigns  some  works to his co- artist  and in case  he finds  finishing is not as per standard he criticizes his co artists for his apathy. This is the age of computer wherein key board has taken place of a pen. Once an Urdu poet had sent his creation in newspaper. His poem was published distorted since calligrapher had made mistake in copying what poet had sent. In return  that poet criticizes calligraphers  in amazing way.

In Kaatibon Ne Khaak Mein Mujhko Mila Diya
Koda Likha Tha Kaaf Ka Markaz Uda Diya

Criticism is not bad at all provided it should be constructive. If we don’t coincide with others view we can criticize them but in dignified manner, eruditely instead of just talking in air, illogically. A great amount of perception is required to be a critic as well as great amount of tolerance is required to face the repercussion because some repercussion is so deadly that it even jeopardize your existence either in literary world or in the surroundings you live.
