What is the difference between a compliment and sarcasm?
Good Morning and God Bless Everyone!! My blog is about the compliments and sarcasm. What is the difference between a compliment and a sarcastic remark? The answer is simple. A compliment is a statement that enhances a person’s ability, or self-esteem. Whereas, a sarcastic remark is sharp, mocking, and contemptuous remarks that are used to injure or hurt another person. My primary reason for writing this blog is because there are some people who really do not know how to accept compliments.
It is a shame because any child or an adult should know the difference between giving praise and rebuke. To be perfectly honest with everyone, all human behavior is learned. No matter what kind of behavior it is; the behavior is learned from parents, relatives, friends, or associates. I want to inform all of you that I got into an argument with a young lady over the Bible. This particular person was blogging about a particular topic and my compliments was indirect. It is that she did not pick up on it.
It is a shame when a person does not understand human behavior. If I were in her shoes, I would have read the Bible to see what is really going on. I really do not understand why young people do not understand indirect behavior. A compliment is supposed to praise and uplift a person. If a person is using sarcasm or vulgarity, then; there is a problem. I want to enlighten everyone that Proverbs 20:11 says that even a small children are known by their actions, so is their conduct really pure and upright?
This is a proverb for those who do not read the Bible. This is very important because whenever another person is praising me for my effort, I am going to say thank you very much for noticing my behavior. Therefore, I did do something that has pleased another person. Sarcasm is words or statements that are very bad. It is time to go back to the basics because there are people who do not understand the difference between a compliment and sarcasm. I am writing thing this blog to shut up all of my critics who have been putting me down because I have been telling the truth about myself.
I know that I am too specific at times. There are times when I can be very blunt or outspoken. I prefer to be honest and straight to the point. I am the type of person who does not like to water down the truth. Proverbs 20:24 says A person’s steps are directed by the Lord. How then can anyone understands their own way? In this proverb, God is leading the way in a person’s life. I want to inform all of you that it is not hard to understand a compliment or bad communication. If someone is literally cussing me out without just cause, I will defend myself.
I will make a few remarks of my own before I will peacefully walk away. All I am trying to say here is please learn how to listen without rushing the judgement. I forgot, I am talking to some people who are either in my age bracket or much younger than I am. Please allow me to make a statement. If my blogs or comments offend you, then what you can do is pray for me. I am going to leave it at that!! I will pray for each and every person on Mocospace and all of the social networking websites that I am using right now. I love all of you very much. I am not being sarcastic, I am telling the truth!!
