What it means is that people have a short memory when it comes to expressing gratitude: that is, giving thanks and, or showing appreciation. They easily remember the ills done to them than recall the good they've enjoyed. It is in human character to easily forget good deeds. As a result of this pungent attitude of ingratitude, a great number of people rarely give thanks and scarcely show appreciation for the good things that come their way but will readily remember to bemoan any evil they've suffered. In other words, they rarely appreciate favors but will readily castigate faults, offenses, and wrongdoings. Indeed, it is disgustingly disturbing to see that so many people live life without a rethink or retrace of thought. They don't reflect on their past nor do they consider the future. Those who don't reflect on their past easily forget where they're coming from, hence their attitude of ingratitude. In the same vein of thought, those who don't consider the future don't think of where they are going to, hence their thanklessness. Of a truth, our world is sinking so deep into the abyss of ingratitude and thanklessness to the extent that people seem to have completely thrown away their sense of gratitude and appreciation. People now find it so easy to remember the ills done to them than recall the good they've enjoyed. All over the world, the depreciation of appreciation - the bad attitude of ingratitude - is alarmingly worrisome. Indeed, gratitude is now the most endangered species in the attitude profile of humanity. Ingratitude is such a sorry case that has destroyed the very fabric of our humanity, and our sanity as well. People no longer reason properly. Many of them seem to have forgotten their humble beginnings. As a result, their forgetfulness keeps fuelling their thanklessness! They rarely think. That's why they hardly thank. And that's because only the thoughtful can be thankful as you will get to learn in this book. On account of the alarming rate of ingratitude in today's society, so much is lost, and so many have missed the blessings of being grateful, especially the fortitude that gratitude provides. This book is out to correct this anomaly. It examines the subject of gratitude: thanksgiving and appreciation in an unusual detail and a very profound dimension. It will help you to think, and think well so you can thank, and thank well too. The first chapter, titled "The Attitude Of Gratitude" highlights gratitude as an attitude that can be cultivated and groomed into full-blown maturity and fruition. It also shows you how to cultivate this virtuous attitude in your day-to-day life. Chapter Two: "The Altitudes Of Gratitude" speaks of heights: high realms of life and lofty dimensions of living which gratitude affords. It refers to how high gratitude can catapult you to if you are genuinely grateful. Chapter Three, "The Fortitude Of Gratitude", explains the protection and preservation dimensions of thanksgiving and appreciation. It uses practical examples to present gratitude as not just a mere virtuous attitude but one with a protective covering and a preservative capacity. It goes further to reveal how ingratitude is not a personal sin as its consequences and punishments go beyond the ungrateful folks to also affect their friends, family members, and community. In all, you will learn a whole lot of new things about the subject of gratitude: thanksgiving and appreciation that will enrich your knowledge profile forever. This item is printed on demand.
