Praise, Flattery: Common Cosmopolitan
Surprisingly, things common can have cosmopolitan import, such the praise-flattery pair in a common commercial deal and beyond. Flattery is for us, praise is to others, and both appreciate to move the world. It is a common oiling of our business deal all over the globe, in “sale” in “free” in every store, to promote our win-win deal, as buyers satisfy their need to profit sellers. Doctors also do healthcare in “bedside manners,” and as scholars do so to inter-enrich. As flattery praises much, so praise prizes a person; as babies cannot be spoiled, so no one can be praised too much. Thus “flattery gets anyone anywhere,” even by “I know you’d never accept flattery!” Such joy goes around coming around; we are all in smile, cosmopolitan.
