Purity of Praise
A little compromise with the truth
Praise is often a mixture of Lies, Consolation, And flattery.
The true meaning of praise is to sprinkle a drop of purity,residing in your heart, upon the other person

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.

Why Black History Matters in America?
The United States of America is celebrating their 250th anniversary in 2026. I'm proud to be an American and as someone who was born here, I wouldn't imagine myself living anywhere else. This is a country where opportunities are possible. Where anyone can be successful in anything they desire to do. Equality, community, and togetherness are the backbones of what America is and should be about. However, we have an administration who wants to erase and disregard those who have made positive, meaningful impacts in our country, specifically Black figures, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, and Maya Angelou. President Trump and his administration have been constantly complaining and fighting against what they call the "Woke agenda". They use this excuse as a distraction from other issues they refuse to address, such as the high cost of living, climate change, and inflation. That equality is dividing America, when in reality, it's bringing us together. Being woke is not tied to a specific political party. No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, you can still care about other people and their plights. Compassion and empathy for others isn't tied to a political party, either. We were taught as children to treat others the way we want to be treated and not judge others because they're different from us. Caring about others isn't a personal attack on your beliefs. It doesn't make you any less of a person. People who are easily offended over African American figures, past or present, or anything related to it, are grasping at straws. Current and future generations need to know who people like Harriet Tubman and Shirley Chisholm were, especially in the classroom. Black History is part of American History. It should be recognized, not hidden or forgotten. Besides, you can't shield children from everything, just because your feelings are easily hurt.

Cannot do this without first engaging in the work... something some fail to do, and then the praise rings hollow
In short, well done, all in one sentence BRAVO ALI SADEEK
my friend you are such a great writer, I love entries and sentences-- Praise is often a mixture of Lies, Consolation, And flattery.
This poem effectively contrasts the superficiality of insincere praise with the profound purity of genuine appreciation, using vivid imagery to convey the importance of heartfelt recognition in human relationships.
Wow, your mind is a wonderful place to be. It encourages a meditative state of mind, and pulls from us the willingness to listen and ponder on what we have read. You have a way of describing something so complex in simple terms. Very engaging and well written Sk.
This was so deep and so true! Loved your poem
Amazing! Such a beautiful thoughts. Truth—praise should come from the heart, just like your words did. Love how pure and real your writing feels!
Interesting!
That is why you're too afraid of being praised. And most people should be. 'cause people do lie right in front of the eye. And through the screens, it could be more difficult to accept. Indeed pure praise reflects the sincerity of the other person. Sometimes, all that the sincere one wants from you is that you keep going for more and hence, praises you. But really, the hardest part is that we never know who the other person is. SINCERE, PURE, or JUST A LIAR! Confusion!
