Gratitude and appreciation are two of the rarest qualities of people around me.Why to express gratitude or appreciate someone? Qualities that earn you nothing. Where do people have time for these stuffs , huh ?
Infact we are so averse to thanks giving that if someone says “Thankyou” to a storekeeper or a bus conductor , people glare at him. Which planet is he from ? I think we are not used to it. We lack social manners, terribly . The way we behave in the society does not tell well about us. Forget about social manners. In moral education classes my teacher used to say that we should be always grateful to God. I believe in it and do so. I feel that we ( me ,you and all those lucky ones) are much much better than millions of poor and destitute in this world. We are lucky my birth ,my circumstances , by opportunities. Don’t u think that we ought to thank Him for his benevolence .I have seen people who ask for God more , even when their greatest wishes are satisfied. They always complain about what they don’t have.
Same is with the case of appreciating someone else. Imagine the joy and contentment on the face of a child when someone pats him on his shoulder. But the sad thing is that even his parents are not talking good about his small and big achievements. They will use that time to compare him with next door guy’s son . He does that,why don’t you do that.I myself is a victim to this comparing. When the exam results come,the first question that I encounter is how many are ahead of me. Even if 95 percentile is scored, the analysis is “So that means 5% of total students are top of you ,phew “. Well, I have no answer to it. I am a loser. Bear with me.
