Are all judgments bad? Are all criticisms unwarranted? Is it possible to speak about good judgments? If so, are such judgments important or even necessary at times? What’s the difference between good criticism and bad criticism? These are the tough questions that we will be tackling in this episode!

"Contemporary society is loaded with criticism. It almost seems like the majority of our self-expression on social media is critical or judgmental in nature. In my experience, on social media, it’s more likely to see a person criticize something or someone than to see a person commend something or someone; it is also much more popular to criticize others than to criticize oneself, which often displays an unfortunate lack of self-awareness."
