Commentary
It is permissible to express anger on seeing someone doing something abominable.
Sometimes, mere facial expressions may serve the purpose of admonition.
It is permissible to give words of praise or appreciation to someone who has done something good.
Both praise and punishment, whether in the form of a few words or through some other opportune method, are the recognized tools of education.
