\"Flatter\"The Latin term adul\u0101ri<\/strong> came to our language<\/strong> What flatter<\/strong>. The concept refers to say or do what is thought to satisfy or sympathize with another person<\/strong>. For example: \"In public, it is always convenient to flatter the boss and not mark his mistakes\"<\/em>, \"If you think that, because you are going to flatter me all day, I will forgive you, you are very wrong\"<\/em>, \"There are leaders who want to grow in government to flatter the president\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It can be said that flattering consists of praise for a particular purpose<\/strong>. The subject who flatters another does not do so in a sincere or disinterested way, but exaggerates or invents his admiration to make the flattered individual happy with him. So, expect to get favors<\/strong> On your part.<\/p>\n

Flattery usually appears in areas where there are people who display a certain can<\/strong>. Rulers are often flattered with the intention of making a profit. A mayor's secretary may flatter his boss constantly in the hope of being appointed to some higher-paying position, to name one possibility.<\/p>\n

Those who receive flattery may react differently. There are people<\/strong> who choose humility and who do not enjoy excessive flattery; others, on the other hand, promote a cult of personality and pretend to hear praise and praise constantly. These latter subjects surround themselves with sycophants.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it is difficult to find the difference between flatter<\/em> Y flatter<\/em>; this last verb, which is considered one of the synonyms of flatter<\/em>It can also be defined as \"showing affection to a person through actions or words that please him\", \"satisfying someone through our actions\". As can be seen, a flattery<\/strong> it does not always hide the intention to satisfy certain personal interests; on the contrary, it may be an absolutely genuine display of admiration.<\/p>\n

Flattering can be a very dangerous action if the recipient of the comments is a child; This happens in many families and in the school setting, especially with individuals of great ability<\/strong> intellectual. When parents and teachers flatter a child they consider special, they fail to strengthen their confidence, but instead turn them into a proud being and distort their perception of the outside world, since they make them believe that their qualities have no limits, that everyone should surrender at his feet.<\/p>\n

\"Flatter\"It is important to distinguish between genuine appreciation<\/strong>, which develops with sincerity<\/strong> to express appreciation to others, and the act of flattery, which is selfish since it responds to the interests of the flatterer.<\/p>\n

Recognizing the people around us their virtues and showing admiration for them is an act of modesty<\/strong> that enriches both parties. Contrary to envy, it consists in understanding that each one has their own talents and defects, and that differences should not be a reason for confrontations but for union to become stronger.<\/p>\n

As unfortunate as it is, it is not very common to find this degree of sincerity in human relations<\/strong>But flattery is much more prevalent. Furthermore, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the two actions, since the line that divides them can become very thin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

One of the characteristics that we must take into account to recognize the flattery of genuine appreciation is intonation: since when flattering we do not express ourselves sincerely, it is possible to appreciate a joint<\/strong> forced, which does not seem to be in tune with the words we speak; On the contrary, when expressing our admiration for someone spontaneously, we do not voluntarily seek the right intonation, but rather it comes naturally according to our culture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
