Not waking their dream is also compassion

When you are out and about, we need to be sweet-mouthed.

When you meet poor people, you should praise his diligence. When you meet stupid people, you should praise him for being honest. When you meet stubborn people, you should praise him for being independent. When you meet a bad person, you praise him for being smart. When you meet someone who cares about his face, you should praise them for their dignity.

So why not tell them the truth and wake them up?

Because this world is full of obsession. They would rather indulge in sweet words, than wake up to the unpleasant truth.

Therefore, don’t argue with those who are not fortunate, and don’t get angry with ignorance.

Not waking up others’ big dreams is also a kind of compassion.

It is not about lying. It is about knowing what praise costs you, and what an argument costs you. Praise costs almost nothing. An argument with someone who is not ready to hear it costs your time, your peace, and often the relationship as well.

So be sweet-mouthed when you are out. Say the kind thing you can honestly say. Leave the rest unsaid. That restraint is not weakness. It is wisdom.
