Thank you! These are two very powerful words, the value of which we miss out on receiving and giving, more often.
I have heard people who are friends with each other say..."No Thank you, no sorry in friendship"... and I have also seen people reflect bliss on their faces when a genuine "Thank You" is expressed. The world is a mixed bag of people and their theories vary from one another about everything including gratitude. Gratitude, I feel is one of the very crucial things that helps in the well-being of the society. Gratitude encourages people to work more...help more, it motivates individuals to look forward to life, gratitude creates a belief in minds, that things are not as bad as they seem to be!
A week from now "Thanksgiving Day" will be celebrated in the USA. A festival(harvest season) to offer gratitude to the almighty for giving us the food that helps us live healthy. Festivals of similar kind are observed throughout the world, the core concept of which is to offer gratitude to the almighty. Onam, Baisakhi, Akshay Tritiya, Gidi Padwa, Bhogi, Bihu festivals in India, Chuseok in Korea, Tsukimi in Japan, Ikore, Incwala in Africa reflect the same sentiment.
Having shared all this information, I would like to bring you back to the thought that a "Thank you" matters not just to the gods, but to the people and all the beings you co-exist with on this earth.
With this... I want to keep you informed that for the next few weeks I will be sending gratitude to all the people and things that my memory has been able to capture by writing events that make me respect people more,mentioning their names and reflecting my happiness and gratitude towards them. This is a small step towards creating a peaceful world around me. I hope you appreciate this and also emulate this if you like.
Love.Peace.Happiness.Gratitude!
