Lets delve in .
So in a basic sense, gratitude is about not forgetting what others have done for you .
Their sacrifices made for you, you don't forget them .
Whilst not forgetting them, you treat them well .
You treat them well, your relationship with them improves .
If any supposed backstabbing or similar occurence were to happen against you due to that person,
then you wouldn't just believe right away .
You would delve right in .
Because you don't believe the person you have gratitude towards would ever do such things to you .
When the air has been cleared, you feel glad that you didn't just jump to conclusion and attack that person .
Then onwards, you trust the person even more .
Your relationship with the person improves and 'live happily forever after' .
See how gratitude can get you in that instance ?
But here's another storyline .
Their sacrifices made for you, you don't forget them .
Whilst not forgetting them, you treat them well .
You treat them well, your relationship with them improves .
If any supposed backstabbing or similar occurence were to happen against you due to that person,
then you wouldn't just believe right away .
You would delve right in .
Because you don't believe the person you have gratitude towards would ever do such things to you .
However, the person really did done some bad shit to you behind your back .
For whatever reasons, it don't matter .
You feel like detesting the person to the max . You feel like letting go of the friendship just because of that incident .
Just becasue of that ONE incident .
You won't know what to do .
You'll be in a dilemma ; To confront, settle, forget and bury the hatchet or 'fuck him till he dies' .
You realise the person has done wonderful things for you in the past .
What can gratitude do ?
While not neglecting your 'pitiful' feelings, you decide to release the friendship, with no emotional outrage on either party involved .
That's one way to end a friendship .
After all these years, I learn that gratitude is up to the willingness of the other person .
Gratitude can be considered as a form of loan .
For instance; I help you now . I should expect you to help me in the future .
It's otherwise known as Returning The Favour .
Some people, are just bent on not wanting to have gratitude towards anyone, perhaps other than their parents .
What do you call that ? Ego ? Low Self-Esteem ? Insecurity ? I have no idea . But fuck that .
Ah . I'm just gonna get to the point .
Gratitude can be a tool .
Gratitude can be a fishing rod .
Gratitude can be a neutraliser .
Gratitude can be provoking .
Gratitude can be a burden .
Gratitude can be ignored .
.. No colours for this .
