Critic and Mother

Critic and Mother
P K Routray

We are afraid of criticism and critic, immaterial whether they are constructive or destructive, rustic or caustic.
As the critics and criticism generally demotivate and dishearten us,
this generates our hatred towards them out of feeling grievous.
Look, our mother cleans us by hand and we love her,
As critics clean us by their tongues, are they not greater than the mother?
