Compliments are both difficult and easy to give to one another.
It totally depends on a person's age, character and emotion.
Praising our peers are just as easy as breathing.
However, that kind of compliment is just merely to win their favor and make them feel good regardless of the truth. It turns out most of the compliments are just another few lies we make daily in order to please someone and to fulfill your intentions. Sounds gross but that's the fact!
On the other hand, if anyone that are closed to us, their compliments are the real stuff! (At least mine does and I do too). Their pretty words are just to build us up not to bring us down.
Things get a bit different when we want our parents to give us compliment. Of course i exclude the westerners from this category since the way westerners educate their children is so much different from the East...Giving their child compliment is as hard as getting a pearl from a closed shell. They think by praising their child, it will hinder their advance in learning, or perhaps they are just being unable to let go their ego and believe their children are better than them or perhaps they just don't get used to praising their children and just being proud of their child silently...That's the culture..Very conservative..
I love compliments and I also hate them too..They can be useful and they can be just another curtain trying not to revealing the ugly truth...Well all and all...Truth is still the best even if it hurts...
