Purity of Praise

A little compromise with the truth

By Karan w. Published about a year ago 1 min read

Praise is often a mixture of Lies, Consolation, And flattery.

The true meaning of praise is to sprinkle a drop of purity,

residing in your heart, upon the other person

    Cannot do this without first engaging in the work... something some fail to do, and then the praise rings hollow

    my friend you are such a great writer, I love entries and sentences-- Praise is often a mixture of Lies, Consolation, And flattery.

    This poem effectively contrasts the superficiality of insincere praise with the profound purity of genuine appreciation, using vivid imagery to convey the importance of heartfelt recognition in human relationships.

    Wow, your mind is a wonderful place to be. It encourages a meditative state of mind, and pulls from us the willingness to listen and ponder on what we have read. You have a way of describing something so complex in simple terms. Very engaging and well written Sk.

  • This was so deep and so true! Loved your poem

    That is why you're too afraid of being praised. And most people should be. 'cause people do lie right in front of the eye. And through the screens, it could be more difficult to accept. Indeed pure praise reflects the sincerity of the other person. Sometimes, all that the sincere one wants from you is that you keep going for more and hence, praises you. But really, the hardest part is that we never know who the other person is. SINCERE, PURE, or JUST A LIAR! Confusion!
