criticism

There is criticism and then there is constructive criticism. Criticism is typically negative, used to put others down in order to make the criticizer feel better about them self. Though, they don't truly feel better about them self because other people's anguish and insecurity doesn't truly make you happy, it is a hollow happiness that collapses and imploded with the slightest of nudges. Constructive criticism on the other hand is a good method of self improvement. Listening to others opinions and then looking at yourself from a third party point of view can be very beneficial at times. Especially in the cases of writing,acting, singing, dancing and other things that catch the general public's eye. I am okay with receiving constructive criticism, and try to use it to my advantage. I'm also good with dealing out constructive criticism because i tend to try and look at things in an unbiased manor to begin with. One good thing to follow is if you can't take criticism, don't dish it out. Though that mostly applies to the not constructive type of criticism, a lot of people are quick to judge others while simultaneously managing to ignore their own flaws and imperfections. People that do this are hypocrites, hypocrites really annoy me.

Common sense

Unfortunately common sense is becoming less and less common nowadays. Yes this is a generalization, and a rather negative one at that but I honest feel it is the truth. People let the internet do their thinking for them; there is no critical thinking or decision making. Often people will be content with the answer "someone on the internet said so" when asked why they believe certain things. This is often due to shortsightedness, they can only see how something affects them and not that it might be affecting others, and that the others effected might be getting the short end of the stick due to their actions. For instances anyone with two brain cells to rub together would realize that the people in line behind them in a line for food are just as hungry as they are, if not more so because there are more than one person behind them versus just himself. Yet today I encountered a person who decided he were going to take ten minutes to order his food and another five minutes arguing over how much it costs, delaying everyone and even the productiveness of the food establishment, then he actually became angry when his food wasn't instantly ready for him the second he purchased his meal. The place is a grill, yet he expected instant gratification while simultaneously denying all those behind him the right to even get timely gratification. This shows a complete lack of common sense, and as I stated earlier, attitudes like this are becoming more common every day.
