Ingratitude to Gratitude

Hi everyone, hope you all are in good company.

In this article, I will be talking about a common and unconventional attitude rising so fast among humanity. It no more than what have been in existence for ages upon ages, centuries and decades, and that is "INGRATITUDE" INGRATITUDE is simply lack of gratitude or thanklessness. This has a high speed of growth in our society and in the world at large. Why INGRATITUDE? Why does it exist? What can be done to control it or put it in check? .. these and more I am going to elaborate on this article. Why INGRATITUDE? At first, I would like to let us know that something can never exist if we don't create it. At first in our mind before bringing it out to reality. So INGRATITUDE came to existence from the mind. The human mind thinks and brings ideas to reality, so is this INGRATITUDE is being created in our thoughts and put down to reality. We give ourselves chance and allow this rapid growing anomalous to control us. This INGRATITUDE occurs when we humans thinks we have taken advantage of something or have the feeling of achievement in our dealings of life. Take for instance, a boss in a company who keeps his staffs waiting for his orders, and due to some unknown reasons happens to report late to work while his staffs not being idle shares the work among themselves and gets busy with work. When the boss shows up, instead of rendering a little apology to his staffs, feels bossy and condemns their idea of working without his own orders. The boys refuses to understand that his staffs are working for the good of the company and could have easily motivated them by a simple appraisal. It could be a simple word as "hi guys good morning sorry am late, thanks for moving on" these are words that worth a million of gratitude, but he allows his position to control him by replacing gratitude with INGRATITUDE. This also applies to our daily lives. The simple and free word "thank you" should always be used in our communication and relationship with people around us in our home, workplace and wherever we find ourselves. How would you feel after telling someone "do not sit there, there are stains on the seat" and the person mumbles and walk pass you without saying a word like" oh thanks. Well as for me, I would say to myself that maybe he/she is dumb. Sometimes, how do we show concern when we get what we want or need. So we come back to say thank you or show some gratitude through any means? It really necessary. Yes it is Why does it exist? Before going into explanation, think about when you wanted what you have. What you have here maybe an address you may have been looking for, a purse you lost or a question that you have got the answers. How do you feel when you have not gotten the answers, when you have the question mark and others who helped you got the answers. INGRATITUDE exist because of the feeling of achievement, satisfaction. A quick question, someone ever walked up to you begging you for some money to buy something, and you deep your fingers in your purse giving him/her any amount and the person recieving the money turns around and walk away without saying a word? Oh my goodness. I will be shocked if that ever happens to me. The feeling you get when this happens can reconfigure and reshape your mind not to ever fall into helping situations like this thereby creating a strong space of INGRATITUDE inside you. Yes. But the power of gratitude which could have come from a simple word like "thanks, thank you" could make you go to an extent in helping situations like that. This is basically how this INGRATITUDE which is the absence of thankfulness comes to existence. INGRATITUDE can simply be put in check by showing appreciation, being loyal before and after our achievements. INGRATITUDE is a character, a bad one of course. Gratitude is also a character, a good and beautiful one too and I believe that in every society, the good outshines the bad. So, let build the character of gratitude and give no chance to INGRATITUDE. Thanks for reading.
