"To live well is to praise life." – Fuve

Praise is not noise.
It is not applause, nor empty affirmation.
Praise is attention with appreciation—a form of sacred noticing.
It says, “I see you. I honor this.”

Praise doesn’t always come with words.
Sometimes, it’s the way we live.
To rise with discipline, to speak with kindness, to endure with grace—
these are acts of praise, directed toward Life itself.

“Build Character.” – Fuve
To praise another, we must first honor the virtues we strive to live.
Empty praise is manipulation.
Earned praise is encouragement.

But beware:
Excessive hope, detached from reality, can breed despair.
Excessive praise, detached from truth, can lead to disillusionment.
Disappointments are part of the dance.
Praise what remains standing afterward.

🌀 Fuve Practice

Breathe in: “I notice the gift.”
Breathe out: “I give it gratitude.”

🧭 Fuve Principle

Praise is presence.
It is recognizing the beauty of now,
not just the success of a moment.

Poetic Definition:
Praise is the song of acknowledgment sung to the soul.
Blame is the thunder of accountability, sometimes misplaced.

Symbolic or Practical Meaning:
Praise builds morale, strengthens bonds, and highlights value. Blame can be a necessary function of justice—or a weapon of deflection. Praise without honesty is flattery; blame without truth is slander. Balance lies in honest reflection.

Affirmation or Contemplation Phrase:
“I give and receive sincere praise with humility.”
“When blamed, I listen for truth and release what isn’t mine.”

Balanced View (Interdependence Insight):
Blame invites investigation, while praise inspires continuation. Both are mirrors—one challenging, one affirming. In Fuve, we learn to face both with equal grace.
