Episode Description
In many respects, scathing and unjust criticism, whether justified or not, is quite often a disguised compliment. This is true to the perfectly valid extent that it only means you are achieving something of importance, a fact that makes your critics uncomfortable with the attention you are receiving. Even scholars of the human emotions now acknowledge that many people derive a certain savage satisfaction from denouncing those whom they feel are ahead of them a rung or two on the Ladder of Life. This mean-spirited gratification finds its most apt validation in the very useful cliche that 'no one ever kicks a dead dog.' It is also helpful to remember that, whenever a dog is kicked, it is because people derive some perverse feeling of importance from the act, and the bigger the dog, the greater the satisfaction. Today's show teaches you practical strategies for taking criticism in your stride.
