What is Subtle Criticism?

The same questioner is going to find out for himself introspectively the meaning and answer to the question. Why do I go into this topic,it is to truly question myself have i been subtly critcizing towards anyone anytime and what is the right reaction if i have been told i do ?

To criticize is to judge someone on his/her actions/thought or work. Judging is a thought process whose nature unlike most forms of thought not a movement but inert. It is inert because it is resultant of the thought machinery which we call the mind to conclude , make a decision, arrive at an opinion about the object or subject under observance by ones thought.

Criticism need not be created externally, it can also be perceived in one's own mind and thus it becomes a reality. What we think we become. Is criticism and finding fault means the same? Not necessarily , criticism does not take the responsibility and ownership as that of finding fault, for the later is more scientific, logical , sometimes demonstrative and not necessarily opinionated. Criticsm is more from a perspective approach where the gap is sufficently larger between the critcized and critcizer and could very well mean sensible only to him and could in many instances be a personal, individualistic thing.

A subtle criticism, is one that is said without the owner not daring to take the responsibility for whatever is being judged for whatever interest or idea that may sustain it. Its subtle nature is an avoidance of a resulting possibility of a confrontation or any equivalent higher or lower degree of emotional reaction and could also be demonstrated out of fear, insecurity or sarcasm.

To subtly criticize is an irresponsible , insensitive act among friends or loved ones. It is completely outside the periphery of love and compassion and doesnt serve except to severe relationships and strain and hurt it. It is principally out of non acceptance and inability to look into as-it-is. Its a very powerful negative emotion which does not serve to better any purpose, its like a dry heat causing blisters and cannot exist in well founded and deeply rooted relationships which is not based on emotional, economic,psychological or pure intellectual dependence.
