I hold the curative powers of appreciation in very high esteem. A genuine phrase, glance or gesture of appreciation can turn even a very bitter and sarcastic mood to a positive and optimistic one. A smile always begets a smile, is what I have seen.
By genuine I mean that a conscious effort needs to be made to find out a streak or aspect ( maybe in the way of looks or nature) in another individual, which deserves appreciation. This repititive conscious effort to look for good in others will make us a positive person, which is no mean gift. and this in turn will help us in finding the goodness which is already everywhere around us.
What about the ugliness then, our cynical and practical mind bounces back to ask. The answer, according to my realizations, is that, everything is there in a platter before us - the good, bad and the ugly, and it for us to pick and choose. Everything is as we behold and perceive.
