Wandering through the fields seeking praise. It is at times the very human condition that makes us real as we wander through our lives seeking praise.
It, praise, presents an interesting problem. When we are praised we sometimes question the source. We wonder if the validity of the source regarding the issue for which we are being praised. Why? Because we are always seeking praise and when it comes we don’t know what to do with it, so we put it into a small box and throw things at it to see if it is real.
Put praise in a box with radioactive materials, will it still be there when you open the box later? Like the cat it may be immortal at that point but it isn’t relevant until you open the box.
So we often run from praise. Of course a reason to run from praise is the reality of faint praise. that praise issued from someone that in the end isn’t really praise and of course then has a huge impact on us.
So we blush, find fault and pretend that in the end we were not praised.
Simply put it is the very nature of the human condition.
