Love and Hate

Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.

—Winston Churchill

Friends think I can be a bit ‘over critical’ of certain things shall we say. So I propose: When I complain about something, I will praise something else.

For example:

• I hate how Websites can’t seem to tell you the delivery cost of an item until you signup and go through umpteen checkout steps. (complaint)

• I love how quiet my Thinkpad X40 is. (praise)

As usual Wikipedia have an interesting read on critics and there is a funny looking book on Amazon called “Is it just me or is everything shit?”.
