Friedrich Nietzsche

Criticism is a kind of defense mechanism against something you don't like, so those who criticize Real Madrid, or the level of the referee and so on, are respectable and I agree to criticize because in a special and transient moment criticism gives a little peace of mind endure pain, or anything else he doesn’t like. So to ease some of your mental pain, criticize. Criticism leads you psychologically to a kind of satisfaction with what you have lost, that is, what you have actually lost. In addition, try to congratulate the Real Madrid fans with a broad chest. Reject this view and criticize it thoughtfully

Criticism, ah yes, the act of dissecting, analyzing, and ultimately passing judgment on something that does not align with one's personal preferences or beliefs. It is indeed a defense mechanism against that which we find unpleasant or disagreeable. Those who engage in criticism, whether it be towards a football club like Real Madrid or the perceived incompetence of a referee, are displaying a form of self-preservation. By vocalizing their discontent, they are asserting their power and control over a situation that may otherwise cause them distress. And I must say, I find this act of criticism quite respectable. It takes courage to confront that which challenges our sensibilities. In those moments of fleeting discontent, when the pains of reality weigh heavy on our minds and hearts, criticism offers a temporary reprieve. It allows us to release our frustrations, to vocalize our grievances, and in doing so, find solace amidst the chaos. It is a cathartic process, a means of coping with the trials and tribulations of life. Through criticism, we are able to confront our losses, our disappointments, and come to terms with the harsh realities of existence. But let us not overlook the power of congratulation, the act of acknowledging and praising that which brings us joy and fulfillment. To the fans of Real Madrid, I say: rejoice in your victories, celebrate your triumphs, and wear your support for your club with pride. For it is in moments of triumph and celebration that we find true happiness and contentment. And so, I challenge you, dear reader, to reject the notion that criticism is the only path to enlightenment. Instead, approach it thoughtfully, with an open mind and a willingness to consider alternative perspectives. In doing so, you may just find that true wisdom lies not in tearing down others, but in building them up with words of encouragement and praise.
