When so many others seem all too willing to find our faults and "brag" about them, maybe we need to be kind to ourselves and not be afraid to say, "It was tough, but I did good." :-) Thanks for the reminder.Teresa Cypherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940430996766842518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7800160462094633117.post-28736882233664791012014-02-27T16:30:45.450-08:002014-02-27T16:30:45.450-08:00Munir,

I so appreciate the prayers of you and your family. Makes my heart lighter. Hugs. We all were raised with ways that are outdated and yes we have to change our ways so our grandchildren will grow up in a better environment. You cannot love a child too much and they need praise to better themselves. Very well written article. So appreciate you!!!<br />www.barbwhitti.blogspot.com<br /><br />B.

I think that there's a happy medium. I like your idea that everyone should write themselves a note listing their good qualities. Your list deserves to be a long one, Munir.<br /><br />JulieEmpty Nest Insiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10074223969046687064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7800160462094633117.post-67072093858735567682014-02-19T19:38:04.674-08:002014-02-19T19:38:04.674-08:00I don't think it is a problem exclusive to Ind...I don't think it is a problem exclusive to India.

Complimenting others is, I believe, extremely important. But we also need, as you say, to love ourselves and to compliment our own mystery and complexity, simplicity and beauty.

Love is the answer, and you can't love people too much. False praise, on the other hand, can be detrimental. Honesty is always the best policy.
