But I sincerely believe you should compliment at least one person a day, even if it is not totally genuine. It makes people feel good. So congrats to everyone who posted here, you fufilled yesterday's quota.

This is actually a good point.

And furthermore, aside from making someone feel good about themselves, it should also have the added benefit of allowing one to feel good themselves.

Which in turn, over time, can begin to make one a bit more positive, to the point to where if at first it wasn't quite genuine, then ultimately they begin to sincerely see the good in others and the bright side of life.
