I couldn’t agree more, Deepak. The world does need more Glenns. Thanks for all you do to restore faith in the goodness in people!

You said it perfectly, Renan! Thanks for commenting!

You’re so very welcome, Wynne. Def my pleasure! 😇

Such an insightful comment, Cindy. You’re right – it says more about themselves than anyone else. Thank you so much for the delightful comment and all the ripples of good and kindness you send into the world, my friend!

Hi Wynne
Well, if that is true? Of course, it doesn’t help to understand criticism – or does it? The technique of the critical dialogue passed on from the Greeks is stimulating a constant questioning of everything. It helps to ask, why do you react in this way. But we think a bigger problem in social media is that they are mostly affirmative, therefore they don’t help to come to a new understanding. It’s a useless communication, isn’t it?
I heard a clever discussion recently on the Frankfurt Book Fair. Leading critics believed that they were abolishing themselves, as there were almost no negative book reviews in the media anymore. I saw this in my students as well, they don’t criticise and overreact to critique.
Anyway, don’t worry, be happy about critique

That’s a good point. As writers, innovators, humans, and thinkers we all benefit from thoughtful critique. But it seems like the Internet sometimes fosters a platform for thoughtless feedback. Should a woman who’s writing about her research on social work respond to comments about how it’d be good if she lost 10-15 lbs? That was the example given to me on the topic.
