Those are concepts, not actual 'things', per se. If no one were alive, there would be no praise, as there would be no one to do any praising. Likewise, if there was no one to imagine god, the concept of a diety would disappear, and there would be no diety.
From my perspective, they are concepts that relate to qualities and the highest form of praise is an entity (ultimate existence).
I do agree if there was no one alive, praise would not exist, but I do believe that the ultimate being is always alive and has always been alive.
While if all finite life ends, does all praise cease to exist? The good actions are no longer praise? As humans we generally believe in perpetual never ending praise. But this again only possible with eternal and forever existing life that perceives praise in accurate form.
