Criticism is uncreative and poor-minded. Criticism is devaluing and not constructive.
Criticism as a starting point is equivalent to taking a building apart – instead of building a new one.
Criticism is no ground for creativity – it’s not even any ground at all! Criticism is essentially DECONSTRUCTION.
You don’t start from the creative ground zero. You start by taking an old edifice apart.
If you are concerned with creativity – or LIFE, on that matter – you do not want to start with the old.
Starting with the old is obviously no new start.
Criticism is vital for the system. System must be tempered with criticism.
But one concerned with EXCELLENCE – or LIFE – such person seeks to TRANSCEND THE SYSTEMS.
Most critics never refine their systems. They are only concerned with invalidating everyone else’s. Their truth-seeking is selective. Obviously biased. And ultimately – just uncreative. Responding to everyone else’s position is the very definition of following.
Creative person is too busy with creativity to invalidate everyone else.
Creative work naturally contrast with the previous – and replaces it when due.
The best criticism is creativity. The best refutation is the new solution.
