“Judgement and Comment”
Usually, people believe positive ideas are obvious.
Usually, people believe negative ideas are obvious.
Is that so?
Well, it depends.
A critic will probably eat poor food and say,
“This food does not taste very good and I do not enjoy it.”
Usually, people will think this critic’s idea is negative.
No, it’s not.
This is not a negative idea.
He is eating “poor” food.
And, he does not enjoy it.
This quote is logical, honest, and correct.
So, what’s really a negative idea?
A negative idea would be like this example:
A polite fan eats poor food, pretends to care, and shouts,
“This is the most delicious thing I’ve ever tasted!”
Is that polite fan’s idea positive?
No, it’s not.
The food is still not very good to eat.
It’s still “poor” food.
Maybe it’s exactly the same food.
But, the polite fan leans on irrational desire and fabricates praise about it.
The quote only sounds positive.
If the critic eats the poor food and already knows about it, he doubts the fan.
Maybe the polite fan was just trying to help.
Maybe the polite fan was just afraid of hurting somebody’s feelings.
Maybe the polite fan was just keeping himself safe from a grumpy cook.
Who knows?
Ideas get tricky.
Positive should be “up” and negative should be “down”.
But, nature is very massive and reality is too complicated.
You can pick food “up” and you can put food “down” and such.
Judgement will often be more than what meets the eye.
Oh, and, “good” does not mean “up” and “poor” does not mean “down”.
Every restaurant critic knows that.
