If I praise how good a software is, am I not indirectly praising the person who wrote the software?
The praise for any creation is the praise for its creator.
And everything in the universe is His creation.
Praising the sunrise, praising someone beauty and admiring the laws maintaining the equilibrium of our universe are all His praise.
Doesn’t it make sense when He begins Quran with 'Alhamo Lilaa he Rab 'll Aalimeen'?
“All glory is for him”. None, but Him.

Similarly,
if I curse any computer software am I not cursing its creator?
And what if I curse anything or anyone?
If I am angry with anyone I forget myself, who I am and in whose presence I sit.
If I continue in anger I continue in ignorance, however learned I am reputed to be.
Even 'forgiveness' is ignorance.
There never was any wrong to forgive.
Is not real knowledge, real forgiveness the acceptance of the rightness of creation even when ignorant of the how and why?
Someone who has never heard of God and praises his creation knows him better than one who curses in his name.

Many thanks for your comment. This is more philosophical debate, and there has been long arguments that if All is Him, we can relate ugliness to him also apart from all the beauty.
However, good and bad are something defined by God and perceived by us. He goes so much beyond praise and cursing, otherwise if God reacts in such way, everything will be mayhem.
But, we must always remember him by the good attributes. As I said, Al-Rehman (All Merciful) is also his name and Al-Qahar (The Avenger) is too.
He who destructs a galaxy in a billionth of a second and creates new universe at the same time through Big Bang, is someone we must be humble with. We must remember him as The All Merciful.
Sufis goes to the extent asking him for His Mercy and Love not even His Justice. If you ask Justice, he can bring out all the mistakes we have committed and forgotten. If He asks us to pay him the value of one breath, how will we be able to do so?
As for the last part who is better than whom; it is again his Mercy. As someone whom I revere very much told me that we have the ability to do debits and credits in this world. But the final balance sheet is in His Hands.
With my sincere prayers and blessings
