Criticism and Us

We as humans face many problems everyday.One of the most common and most faced problems that we tend to face is criticism.Everyday,we can see or hear people being critic by another person just because of what he or she has done or what he or she didn`t do but has to take responsibility and the blame for it.Because of what we have seen or heard,we will feel scare to be criticised by other people and we will also feel bad and sometimes angry because we are being scolded or being criticised,because of that,many problems will arise and it affects other people like our friends and family or ourselves.

Criticism affects us a lot.Our emotions will show sadness or sometimes anger.We want to get even to that person who scold us and we feel our anger boiled inside us till we can`t take it no longer.The person will sometimes not only scold us for 1 day,if this goes on,we will keep it all in us until 1 day we just lashed out at that person and end up a big brawl and both also get hurt.This things don`t come overnight,it takes a long time to finally end up with you giving the person a piece of your mind because as your anger boils it becomes rage and in the long run it encourages you to just release all your anger on that certain person and i doubt at the end of the brawl,the person will be still alive.

There is also another problem that we have when we are being criticised.Although we have been criticised by that certain person for a long time or sometimes we still can remember all that the person did to you and it fuels ur anger.Why is that happening??Why do we tend to remember all the things that the person said to us and it fuels our rage??.Simple!...it`s because we are being like a tape recorder.What is a tape recorder?It is an electrical device for recording or playing back sound, video, or data on magnetic tape.The tape recorder and us have a match because we are like a tape recorder.When someone criticise or scolded us,we tend to "record" what the person say about us and we keep it in our hearts and when it happens again,we playback the old "recordings"of the person scolding us and at the same time,we keep thinking about it and it fuels our anger and it boils our emotions to an extend that we will dream of us teaching the person a good lesson and it also plays a part of encouraging us to let it all out to that certain person.Thats why we shouldn`t be tape recorders because if we do,we are just recording and playing back all those hurts and anger in our lives rather than we forgive and forget.

Criticism has a big effect and influence in our lives.It plays a part at anywhere,at school,at work or it can happen even in front of you.We should gladly take criticism and learn from our mistakes.Sometimes people that you know and love scold you not because they hate you,it is because they care.I know it is hard though because I find it hard for myself too and I know it`s also hard for you.But we are humans,we have feelings, so we will sometimes feel the pinch when we are being criticised or scolded.But instead of keeping it in and just being a tape recorder,we should just forget it and forgive that person and not to say that you must forget everything,you must also learn from mistakes.Take something,learn from it,understand it and it will help you a lot in some unexpected ways and that sometimes you won`t even realise.It Does..=)
