I'm wondering if thankfulness is a springboard to all other virtues. We have received the greatest benefits from God, and from our parents. Now the honor which we pay to God , our heritage and parents, is from being a thankful person. So I ask, is thankfulness or gratitude a beginning to other virtues? Our culture does not give the words virtue and honor much concideration. Try for a  moment, contemplating their meaning. If there were a  basic motivational drive to be virtuous or honoring,  I'd ask how thankful am I.

When I am thankful,  I find it hard to be, Angry, negative, depressed, condemning, anxious,  unreasonable, evil, mean, Apathetic, Arrogant,  Callous, Mistrusting, Combative, Pessimistic, Petty, Conceited, Controlling, Rebellious, Covetous,  Cruel, Resentful, Deceiving,  Dishonest, Selfish, Small minded, Envious, Fearful, Grumpy, Unsympathetic, Untrusting , to name a few.

Be Thankful today and give Thanks.
