Comments on: Disliking everything about someone makes you a big, mean hyperbole that no one will listen to.

Yeah,

But,

Small bit’s of insincere praise to mask ones own bile for a subject, person or idea seem trite.

When I catch myself compulsively disapproving of everything a person does (either all the time or within a particular day, if it’s someone I have an ongoing relationship with), I tend to “hunker down” a little bit and pull in my claws!….because I know something has gone wrong inside of me.

It’s a little embarrassing at such moments to know that the Holy Spirit is watching the situation unfold and perhaps wondering when I will catch on!

I like my in-laws. I really do. They are so sweet. It’s just this one little thing…..but they’re really great.

This reminds me of your say-something-nice-about-Obama post.

Some people can end up being so deceitful, you realize you don’t truly know anything else about them. But, usually, I can heed your advice.

At least, I can now. Back in my younger adult days, my frustration with someone blinded me to any goodness in them. That wasn’t helpful to me or my audience.

I agree. I also agree with Travis, except I would have used Ray Comfort as the example.

On the other hand, there are certain exceptions (cf. Satan).
