Why Give Compliments Than Criticize?

Can you think of the times when you criticized someone? How did you feel about that? Was it good? For a at that certain point, you will probably laugh and have fun, but what happens after?

I am not really sure about how you felt about that, what I know is that many people do regret about what they have done just after doing it, weird right! Since I was a kid, I view all people kind, no matter what they do, whether good or bad, I know deep within that they also have kindness in their hearts.

Criticizing seems to be fun, I guess you will agree with me. It makes us laugh at times we feel bored. We feel successful when the person we criticize feels angry towards us. That is what I like to do when I was young. I don't give compliments I rather criticize and laugh at others.

The time I grew a little older, my mindset about teasing someone changed. When I entered college, things were very different. I am not a bully anymore, I am the one getting bullied by most students. Not to uplift myself, but I am that kind of person who should have confidence because I have the guts and skills that other students don't possess, just that I'm little.

To make the story short. I learned my lesson. I trained myself to change!
What does the bible tells us? It says Love One Another! Right?

Believe me, its good to love other people. If you haven't experienced giving compliments, its a loss on your part. When I first did that, it gives me so much joy. But of course I was true to my word that time. In fact, it made me draw more closer to people, and they loved me unconditionally. Just like what we all know, "what you sow, is what your reap".

How do we respond with those people we meet? Are we harsh? Or do we respond with love in our hearts?

Always Remember:
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but harsh words stirs up anger. (Proverbs 15:1)
