Everything about Praise totally explained
In religion,
praise is an impassioned
exaltation of
God (ie. a
Supreme Being, or
Creation), typically as an expression of
gratitude for one's
life or
being. In other cases, praise may be tied to more situational aspects such as
health and
prosperity.
In its common usage
praise is the act of making positive statements about a person, object or idea, either in public or privately. Praise is often contrasted with
criticism, where the latter is held to mean exclusively
negative statements made about something, although this isn't technically correct. Most people are responsive to praise and will increase in
self-esteem or confidence if a suitable amount of praise is received -- in fact some psychological theories hold that a person's life is comprised largely of attempts to win praise for their actions. Other people are less affected by or even averse to praise, for example people with
autism or
schizoid personality disorder.
Praise is an integral part of many
religions, for example
Christianity and
Islam, which hold that
God is a supreme being who is worthy of praise. The
Biblical book of
Psalms is a collection of
hymns and
poems, many of which praise
Yahweh. In Christianity, the word takes on a new meaning, and is understood as a command to either describe God or give a testimony of what God has done.
