Sadly, for the most part, we look at ourselves and the world and our first mode of interpretation is depreciation rather than appreciation: before we see what is good, we see what is wrong; before we appreciate, we judge; before we are pleased, we are disappointed; before we bless, we curse; and before there is joy, there is anger.
Before there is appreciative consciousness there is always criticism.
