FeedBack



Galileo, Van Gogh, Edgar Allan Poe, Mozart
These people have one thing in common, they all became famous after their death. So I wonder why do dead people get a lot of credit after they die? Knowing that during their life, they've been mistreated and unvalued. But once they died, their work that was once of no value became the priciest and the elite's choice. Why do they get all the positive feedback when they're six feet further away, why is all the negativity forgotten and no one has a word to say.

But then, maybe, there's a slight chance, a small beam of light of being fair, and someone say that that person had positives and they were 1,2,3, and still if had negatives and they were 1,2,3, but what about a better idea, why not say this person has positives and has negatives.

I've tried to reason why they only mention the negatives, maybe that's their way of saying you can do better -the tough love kinda way- but here they’ve failed to guide them to the right direction, leading to depression and possibly death at early age for many young talents.

Another reason –I think- is that they don't want to admit they like it and therefore they'd have to compliment -something their fragile ego can't handle- , or they'd have to have an intellectual talk -with the artist, author, or whoever- where their ignorance would be revealed faster than you can say who.
So they'd rather wait till that person is dead so that they say that he meant something by his work, -which he probably did not-.

They'd rather live in a world of maybe and perhaps,
Than let their void bubble of knowledge collapse
