Piling on

“Piling on” is a term used when someone joins in the (typically unfair) criticism of someone who is already being assailed. It’s a cheap way to get a laugh, or to demonstrate affiliation with the group dealing out the mockery.

Piling on, in this sense, is pretty common.

But what about piling on in a good sense?

• With kindness?

• With generosity?

• With compassion?

• With praise?

• With encouragement?

Let’s use our tendency to join-in… to contribute to the good stuff. Go ahead and pile on, but do it with the things that make a positive impact.
