Value of Gratitude
When a good turn is done to you by someone, it is your duty to express your gratitude to him. It is a kind of courtesy widely accepted in all societies. One does not lose anything by expressing gratitude. Such feelings are manifested in the terms like ‘please’ and ‘thanks’. These expressions arouse love which has a cumulative effect. As an opposite of gratitude is the expression ‘sorry’ for any wrong done to others consciously or unconsciously.
