For Most People, Yes.
Infact, that's all they'd rather do.

I'm different, a non-comformist.

In the words of Robert Greene, in 48 Laws of Power, "Men are more ready to repay an injury than a benefit, because gratitude is a burden and revenge a pleasure."

Reason is that it is far easier to write why something is terrible than why it's good.

Its easier to point out mistakes & correct correct wrong attitude than just complimenting them. You may lose it when the praise is too much

In the schools, for most students, I think it is easier to get an F than to get an A. Ask any lecturer about this if you are in doubt... grin

I think the reasons why it is easier to criticize than compliment cannot be overemphasized.. Criticism goes with pride and enemity while compliment goes with humility and sincerity.. * Conlusion*This part of the world is filled of species with judgmental, criticizing and condemnation spirit

Its because human beings generally are filled with more negativity. It all depends on the person if he dwells more on the positive side of things or not. If u notice those that criticise the most hardly see anything good in people to comment or talk about.


The Captivity Of Negativity

"Most people are Captives of Negativity.......... Living in the prison of their own creation"

Get out of the prison of negativity and dwell on the positive sides of things

U watch too much "prison break"..
Captivity of negativity...T'bag grin grin

It has become obvious that most people will toll the lines of proffessional critics and hold a degree therein than be good admirers....
Why do we criticize.......Gentlemen lemme state them down here seriatim,to wit,we criticize out of Fear of competition,Fear of failure,fear of beeing exposed,Jealousy,Pride and indeed to correct.....
But there are ofcourse few who commit this crime out of the last option....
Criticism has become a monster and an Ebola,destroying relationships,and destroying planned plans......
You know Criticism could be manifested in the form of gossip and slander.....

Some people see complimenting others as bringing themselves down cheesy

They would rather criticize than compliment
Re: Why Is Criticism Easier Than Compliment? by godunia(m): 7:57am On Sep 28, 2014
It's easier to criticise or see fault in others than to praise someone,this is so because we are imperfect,product of ego,defective n as such see the defect in others.to check this tendency Jesus told his listeners to remove the log of wood from their eyes before removing the speck in others eyes.criticisms tears down while praises build up.

IS MAKING MONEY EASIER THAN SPENDING IT? USE THIS TO ANSWER THAT
Re: Why Is Criticism Easier Than Compliment? by destante(f): 8:04am On Sep 28, 2014
A times it depends on the person. There are people who will compliment you just about every time because of their friendly nature. They hardly find faults. This could be a bad thing because they can't help others improve themselves.
On the other hand, some people are sadists and will find faults in everything. So whichever is easier depends on the kind of person.
