Issue146  第6篇 让砖头来得更猛烈些吧！

------题目------
People who are the most deeply committed to an idea or policy are the most critical of it.

------正文------
The speaker’s assertion seems paradoxical at first glance, because common sense tells us that commitment and criticism are mutual exclusive in most cases. However, careful consideration will reveal that the opinion is reasonable even undeniable. People with great commitment to an idea are those who are most critical to them.

First of all, people deeply committed to an idea or policies are the persons who are most familiar with it. Before believing in an idea or policy, one has to know the essence of it at first. It is absurd to consider someone enthusiastic for some ideas even if he or she knows nothing about them. Therefore, people have more opportunities to access to what they are committed than laypeople. They are aware of where the flaws and deficiencies lie in the idea or policy and what needed to be improved. For example, when quantum mechanism was first brought forward, Einstein rejected it, because he believed that quantum mechanism flew in the face of Relativity. Maybe at that time, except for Einstein, there were no others who can really understand both the mechanism and principles of relativity. Nevertheless, Einstein was so critical to his belief that he spent his whole later life questioning it and struggle to reconcile quantum mechanism with principles of relativity.

Second, people with greatest commitment to an idea or policy are the persons who are most eager to improve it. For example, all the parents love their kids most. At the same time, parents are most critical to their children and most sensitive to the wrong behaviors of them. In other words, people criticize something because they like them and wish them to be better, while people who are not interested in one thing might pay little attention to the deficiencies in it. There is a Chinese saying: “The deeper you love it, the more you blame on it.” Another example is Lu Xun, one of Chinese   patriotic writers in the 20th century. In some of his works, he seriously pointed out several deficiencies rooted in the characteristics of Chinese people. Did he betray his patriotic belief which he was committed to? The answer is absolutely not. In fact, he loved his nation too much to ignore any defect which prevents it to be more powerful and prosperous.

Moreover, psychological research suggests that most people prefer finding out flaws in their favorite things by themselves rather than letting others criticize them. For instance, in foot games, it is common that the fans complain the poor performance of their favorite team with some rough words. But if the words come from the fans of the opponents, they might be dissatisfied, even irritated. Therefore it is human’s nature to criticize their favorite things first and reject the criticism from others.

To sum up, commitment and criticism are not incompatible. From the analysis above, we know that people who are most committed to an idea or policy are both capable and eager to criticize the idea or policy. So, there arrives the conclusion that people who are the most deeply committed to an idea or policy are the most critical of it.

总体架构和语言都很good，只是我感觉4段是不是与原主体比较远？个人意见，佩服中~

谢谢！
我写个两个body之后，感觉字数太少了，但有想不出别的东西了，就又随便写了个point，感觉是和前面的有点远了

b2的例证不错啊
b1后面的爱因斯坦例子是不是偏离这段的重心了？
b3从心里学上论述是一个不错的角度，不过需要体现出most critical

再说句题外话，量子力学不是爱因斯坦创立的，而且爱因斯坦是彻彻底底地反对量子力学的（不过后来在事实面前认输了）

弱弱的问，什么叫most critical

apolloxpUID: 156355

我理解为最挑剔的

critical=inclined to judge severely and find fault

body 1 and 2 try to convince us the two reasons of the issue
the example and analysis in body 2 is appropriate as well as insightful, very good~
I see the meaning in this paragraph1 is that :since people most concerned and committed to  an idea , might understand the issue most deeply and comprehensively, it is natural that they are the right people to find the fault in their beloved idea.But the reason in body 1 seem not clear enough.
anyway, good work!
