musings 122



People turn unfriendly and even abusive when you try to point out the errors..errors In spelling..construction..ideas..usage..And so on.

It is understandable.
There is a saying in Malayalam. കാക്കയ്ക്കും തൻ കുഞ്ഞ് പൊൻകുഞ്ഞ്..
Even a crow thinks that its child is of shining gold hue.
So everyone who writes thinks that he has created great literature..classy literature


Even if some errors are pointed out in earnestness the writers would get offended.
The best thing is not to continue reading if you find that the flow of words are not to your taste.
You need not worry much about the merits of a particular author's writing.
Nothing is lost by skipping or avoiding one author
The world abounds in sublime creations.
Creations that have survived for many millenniums.
Such creations are immortal.

Be a good reader rather than even a supportive critic
And never venture into literary criticism unless you have to eke out your livelihood by doing so.

It is not worth the trouble to add some permanent enemies to your contacts list
