The Other Thing with Critics
…a critic must forever have something to say.
It is improbable to find a critic that has nothing to say. In instances where a critic can’t find something to critic, he’d rather find something to compliment the doer on.
When a critic is asked or expected to do what they do, and it happens that they really have nothing to say — that, in a way, makes them appear clueless, thus, useless.
A critic is like a daily newspaper; come tomorrow, he must have something to say.
There will never be a day where a newspaper has no news to feed those who help its journalists put food on the table. Likewise, there will never be silent critic.
The likelihood of a critic saying, “No comment!” is equivalent to that of an atheists uttering the phrase, “Praise the Lord!”
(Go ahead,
critic this writing. And, as a result, prove me right.)
