We all say Debit , But I wish that every one can say the reason for that ,

I wish that every one here can apply and understand what I will say below ::--

((( Any account if increase will be according to its nature and decrease opposite of it  )))

Meaning lets apply the above Question on it , AP is always Credit = Increase is Credit = Decrease is Debit.
