No matter how people happen to belong to the same circumstances in life, their judgments will not exactly be alike. That’s the reason why there’s no wrong and right in criticisms, right? There’s just better and worse or strong and weak critics. That’s why I agree with Hume.
I also believe that there has to be balance in the way we judge things. One cannot fully rely on sentiments alone or reason alone. It has to be a mixture of both. Of course, we all have our own way of seeing things but I believe since we are human beings we all have conscience that somehow influence our taste. Hume insists on moral judgment, and I take his notion. It is not enough to say for art’s sake. It also has to be appropriate.

People set standards but sometimes it is tainted with prejudice. There’s really no universal basis. What pleases one, might be hideous to another…One is not better than the other, it’s just that there are different ways of seeing things. Standards are recommendations not requirements.
