Handling criticism:

Criticism is not fragile and you cannot stamp it out by using too much force on it, so don't be timid.

Grasp the criticism firmly behind the nech, being sure not to let it sink its teeth under your skin, as this has been proven, with some varieties, to be extremely toxic, and in some instances causing heart failulre. As long as you proceed with the correct precautions, all will be well.

With a firm grip, place the criticism squarely on a flat surface, such as the floor or a table top. While still keeping it firmly pinned with one hand, use the other hand to draw over it an impenetrable sheet of plastic wrap, such as is sold in food stores for left-overs. Roll the criticism in the plastic wrap bringing the end over the head and sealing the head into the package just as you let go of it. This requires a certain deftness.

Once wrapped, you can place the criticism in a sturdier container, if you wish, or you can simply throw the package at the head of whoever provided it.

Many criticisms which seem to be robust and venomous, actually turn out to be fragile little projections on closer inspection. In this case a simple "pooof!" with a gust of breath will serve to make it vanish, if it is done with one eye on the actual source of the projection.

Hope this helps,
