As you can imagine I have met "the people" but more often than not I meet "the people that know the people" and it's always disappointing to find out that some of the people I admired are really just assholes in real life.... 😕 As for Oprah I can't say one way or another but that quote I take it as a reminder to be grateful and thankful no matter what.

Guest Posted November 13, 2023 Posted November 13, 2023 COMPLIMENT PEOPLE IN FRONT OF OTHER PEOPLE Admonish thy friends in secret, praise them openly.
Guest Posted November 13, 2023 Posted November 13, 2023 Sorry/not sorry if this personally offends anyone:
Guest Posted November 13, 2023 Posted November 13, 2023 We destroy the disinterested (I do not mean uninterested) love of learning in children, which is so strong when they are small, by encouraging and compelling them to work for petty and contemptible rewards — gold stars, or papers marked 100 and tacked to the wall, or A’s on report cards. In short, for the ignoble satisfaction of feeling that they are better than someone else. We kill, not only their curiosity, but their feeling that it is a good and admirable thing to be curious, so that by the age of ten most of them will not ask questions, and will show a good deal of scorn for the few who do. ~John Holt Book: How Children Fail Photograph by Bernard Hoffman

While I totally agree that one should compliment people in front of others, I would not phrase the first part of the sentiment as Admonish thy friends in secret. That could be taken to mean that you should admonish your friends behind their back. It might be better stated, Admonish your friends not at all or perhaps. IF one is to admonish a friend, do so in the privacy of they company. A well considered admonishment in private said in a spirit of helpfulness can be a blessing. One should not be afraid of giving or receiving these in the name of friendship. + Just966 and Brock O 2

Guest Posted November 14, 2023 Posted November 14, 2023 This sub forum really is my favorite... it reminds me of the days when I had a Tumblr account.... sometimes it was "me" but 95% of the time it was things that moved and or touched me.
