Praising
someone for being a great person boosts their sense of self, and while
this may be a good thing in the case of the developing egos of
youngsters, it is not something encouraged for Buddhist practitioners.
By all means extol the value and benefit of benevolent words and deeds,
for example, but practice the habit of not feeding people’s view of
self, lest you contribute to their self-aggrandizement. Help people be
humble.
