This must be one of the easiest things to do in life, giving praise to fellow friends, lovers, children and colleagues and all mankind. But alas, so many people think, sometimes, that it is a curse to do so.
Mankind, as it is prescribed by the Creator, must at all times strive to better all human activities around him.
That is why God bestowed each man with different disciplines from the next person. No one of mankind has all the talents and skills God can give, we are all different from one another. When all of us are involved in innovation, invention and service delivery then mankind prospers a million fold.
While there have been many breakthroughs in our lives because of brilliant inventions and creations, others have fallen by the wayside. There are races that proclaim to have taken civilization to a higher level while they denigrate other races and continents. Nearer to us there are acquaintances who have strove to raise their lives and improve their profiles. While we have applauded others, we have also failed to give due praise where it was necessary to do so. When we deny others praise because we fail to observe the beauty of their lives we also deny ourselves happiness and the ability to move forward as individuals, as a community and as a nation. Who knows, how far above could the lady down the road who is now a mere cashier at a supermarket could be had she been given all the encouragement and praise for the studious scholar she was earlier in her life? She might have been your child’s role model to be an astronaut. That hobo at the corner could have been a brilliant entrepreneur if his wife had supported his efforts.
How many parents know what exactly what their children are doing at school? How many of them have taken their child by the hand to accompany them to the child’s role model? Or even to the parent’s role model?
Who of us give praise our parents for the way they bring us up? Which couple exchanges words of praise and accolades for the love God gave them and their ability to stick to that love and their adherence to the pledge love one another?
It is now time to stop taking mankind for granted. The time has come to look whoever you adore in the eye and give praise for who they are and for the beautiful efforts they undertake to make life wonderful.
Envy has never been kind to mankind nor has it been man’s greatest asset. It is a tsunami-like phenomenon. Throw it into the trash basket where it belongs. Be a wonderful person, give accolades all-round.
