The right to be apathetic is earned.
The right to be disinterested is earned.
The right to criticize is earned.
'Earned' not in the sense that permission is required for you to be able to do so, but 'earned' in the light of having already proven yourself, having gone through the ropes, having first-hand experience of the subject at hand.
Because without 'earning' the right to do so, your apathy, disinterest and criticism are simply pretensions or mere excuses for inability or incompetence to act - deserving neither an audience nor respect.
