The title says Guilt + Gratitude = Attitude
How simple is that?
We all know endless lists of sayings, proverbs and... words of wisdom. Today I submit this.
"Why?" is the basic reaction when we're confronted with people who have issues coping with who they are and they need to come off defensively when they should really be thankful we're there for them.
Why do people do what they do when they should simply appreciate and be thankful for how you treat them? I've always felt it just might be jealousy or envy, low self esteem, immaturity or selfishness. All that.
They're excuses that just don't cut it with me any longer.
If you truly appreciate someone... just show it.
Say it.
That is of course... if you can and you have what it takes.
Try not to let your guilt sway your ability to be grateful by substituting it with anger.
May I present a simple equation...
Guilt + Gratitude = Attitude
One last thing. Those same people will read this and what I've said will piss them off.
Gratitude... a little goes a long way.
