The price of criticism
Idle talk
And hollow promises
Cheating Judases
Doubting Thomases
Don’t just stand there and shout it
Do something about it
–Depeche Mode “Judas”
The annual play of our department (FLL) will be held next Thursday and Friday. The play is played by senior students, just one year above us. It struck us that we will be the people performing next year (I probably won’t, since I plan to graduate one year ahead)!
The realization has an impact on some of my classmates. They have been discussing whom to choose and which group to participate in. Some of them rush for the available acting roles (though the script is not yet settled; we don’t even deside on the personnel yet). At the same time, unfavorable voices also burst out. A few classmates do not trust the leader’s ability; some want to perform but do not have the courage to express their will, and other criticisms…
How can people criticize before all is settled? How can people complain without doing things first? Have faith in our play! Have faith in us!
Don’t just stand there and shout it. Do something about it!
