Criticism

An act requires a befitting response. No response is as bad as a over-reaction.  Often in our communities and in the society as a whole we are allergic to criticism.  Of course, no one loves to be criticised all the time but some critical appreciation is always good and healthy.  Most often people have a such a dreaded experience of facing criticism that they either shy away or bluntly oppose any criticism that comes their way.  While receiving criticism with the right and proper attitude is an art to be mastered, so is offering healthy and productive criticism.
