Flattery is a social evil. It serves the same purpose as that of devil. Corruption, depravity and injustice are byproducts of flattery. Victim of it never knows about it but when it gets too late to mend. It is just like sweet poison.
An ordinary example of flattery is to flatter a teacher by his/her student, in order to get good marks. Flattered, if at the top of the tree, is being used by his/her subordinates to get illegitimate benefits of his/her position. It may includes to dis merit talent by manipulating flattered with help of flattery. Flatterer is such an ugly customer who never lets his/her target know that what's what and what he/she is all about.
Flatterer is a wolf in sheep's clothes and its victim goes hard with criticism because he/she becomes habitual of hanging on his lips good words about self. Under the thumb of flatterer he/she can not bear even constructive and positive criticism by sincere ones. Flattered nature of giving himself/herself airs results in reducing sincere people around him/her and enhancing flatterers.
In short; vanity, corruption, lie and many other social evils are result of flattery. All these factors, which cause chaos in a society, are obligations of devil. When devil gets an subordinate, flatterer, to fulfill its responsibilities, there remains no need of devil itself, So devil can enjoy a break.
Hi Ultimate csp!
I'm new here. i really like your piece of writing, very creative, indeed! it is quite a masterpiece!! I'm not a native speaker of the language but i will try to suggest:
Flattery is a social evil and It serves the same purpose as that of devil.Corruption, depravity and injustice are byproducts of flattery. the Victim of it never knows about it but when it gets too late to mend. Maybe you can rephrase this sentence.
It is just like sweet poison.
An ordinary example of flattery is the attempt of a student to blanish or praise a teacher in order to get good marks. Flattered, if at the top of the tree, is being used by his/her subordinates to get illegitimate benefits ( from .. i think is the right preposition here) of his/her position.
It may includes to dis merit talent by manipulating flattered with help of flattery. maybe you can rephrase it by saying. by doing so, or by obtaining illegimacy benefits, true inner tralents may be desmerit.
A Flatterer is such an ugly customer who never lets his/her target know that what's what and what he/she is all about. i didnt get all your idea in this sentence. do you mean that the flatterer does not show his/ her true colours?
Flattery quotes:
"Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you."
William Arthur Ward quotes (American dedicated scholar, author, editor, pastor and teacher)
"Neither will I put myself forward as others may do,
Neither, if you wish to flatter, will I flatter you;
I will look at you grimly, and so you will know I am true."
William Rose Benet quotes
"People generally despise where they flatter"
Aristotle quotes (Ancient Greek Philosopher, Scientist and Physician, 384 BC-322 BC)
