praise for what
how come people get praised for doing what they should, and they do it finally. Why should we applaud him? Seriously, after how long does it become anti-climactic?
Can we applaud a 30-year old for finally learning to tie his shoe, when it was pure laziness that drove him to avoid it?
Can we praise a 21-year old for not spoiling in their pants, when they just wanted to watch tv and refused to discipline themselves?
When can we naturally assimilate people into what they should do and praise a 12 month old for learning to walk and then encourage them to go on to bigger and better things?
Does a parental heart always desire the best but get discouraged when there is really no change and then finally after so many years, one little thing? How happy can you be?
I really don't know. I feel disappointed when people don't live as they know they should and they just wallow in a self-made mire of disappointment and desire for things they shouldn't. I cannot be excited when they do what they should 80 years too late.
I suppose better late than never, but if it's something you know you should do, then why not at least try and see if you can at least work towards it.

To my dear friend that has so much wisdom and kindness in her.
Please do not forget that it is not up to us to judge a person. That is the simple things that all of us take for granted.
For the 30 year old that has just learned to tie that shoe, it may not have been lazyness that has kept him from being successful in the past. That person just did not have right teacher.
A person that soils themselves till they are 21, maybe they have many issues that must be over come before they can make a conscious decision to know that is not apporpriate. Then decide to make the change.
I truely beleive there should be praise going to all for the simplest of things. It makes a person aware, builds self asset, and self awareness.
"GOOD" must be encouraged. It's a light when things can feel so dark.
