On Gratitude (Dr. Anna Sekhar)

On Gratitude  (Dr. Anna Sekhar)

1.
Nothing more satisfying than gratitude;
Nothing more dissatisfying than ungrateful behaviour;
Nothing more nicer than true love;
Nothing more despicable than dishonesty;
Nothing more fonder than sincerity;
Nothing more frustrating than clandestine, insidious behaviour;
Being nice or not nice depends on how the other is.

2.
Nothing is more fulfilling than showing gratitude
to someone who once helped you.
Nothing is more satisfying than wishing them well
in all that they do.
Nothing feels more divine
than praying for their peace and joy —
especially when their kindness was unconditional.
Nothing warms the heart more
than holding them close in your thoughts,
grateful simply for having known them.
Nothing brings deeper happiness
than recognizing the worth of someone
who helped you move forward from where you once stood.
If gratitude is absent in you,
you are truly poor —
no matter what else you possess.

3.
A sense of gratitude to those who guide 
and help us is gratifying;
An act of kindness to those who
lend their hand is gratifying;
A feeling of joy to those who grow
and help others grow is gratifying;
A pleasant thought to those wish 
well for others is indeed gratifying;
A word of prayer to those who show their 
care to others in pain is gratifying;
A readiness to support those who are genuine 
and sincere in their bonding is indeed very gratifying;
The most humanly behaviour of sheer joy, care, 
concern and true happiness at another's growth 
is the most gratifying behaviour for a good human.

4.
Gratitude is a gracious act of a good human 
that people fail to recognise;
Gratitude does not cost much and 
is something that can be generously given;
Gratitude to that noble soul who elevated your life 
shows you do not forget the past, recognise good deeds.
A person without gratitude is someone
Who will turn against you anytime;
A person without gratitude is someone who 
knows best how to make use of you! So beware, 
keep an eye and act with care.

5.
Not many know what gratitude truly is;
Not many feel the depth of its quiet power;
Not many understand the grace it carries;
Not many live by its honest intent;
Not many see its worth until it’s gone;
Not many will change to earn its gift;
Not many will even try.
And so the world turns,
crowded with the ungrateful—
quick to take, slow to cherish.

6.
A grateful heart knows no evil,
Has no impish thoughts in front,
Hears nothing negative about people,
Wants nothing bad for the other,
Says nothing that can harm another,
Does nothing to bring down another,
Carries nothing insidious for another,
Feels no devilish ideas within,
Does not talk to another with thoughts to 
hurt another in some way or form,
A grateful doss not long to compete, 
show that one up-manship over the other. 
Having a grateful heart is a blessing.
