What truly wounds a person
What in this world
can hurt someone the most?
It may be receiving praise that is not sincere.
When people are praised by others,
they often push themselves to live up to it.
And in doing so, many lose sight of who they really are.

Let us be careful that a casual, empty compliment
does not steer someone’s life off course.
Let every word carry love, carry thought.
And let us keep training ourselves,
growing stronger within.
