As I confessed before, once I suffered from psychotic depression but survived. Recently, my parents pointed out that I say "Thank you" more frequently than before. Maybe they are right ...surely, I remember reading how words showing gratitude do us good, and deciding to practice this. If there is a reason I managed to change myself and get over my mental disease... this is a habit of gratitude
. No matter how people around me understood the situation and helped me, I couldn't respond -or reward those help while I lacked the sense of gratitude, which is regrettable -I realized after I managed to regain my health -asonlyfor me, that is. When I was being perverse, I think I used to feel that the word "okagesama
(maybe "thanks to..." or "fortunately...")
sounded obsequious -I confess. But not now; showing gratitude modestly and disparaging myself is different things. Sometimes I forget my resolution and fall back into a complainer, though -this is still one of my bad habits. One of the books I learned about the effect of gratitude says thatadults should show children the custom to show gratitude whenever people do something for them. And if children learn this habit, they will grow up to be adults with higher state of mind. One of the books I read says thatshowing gratitude to people who do good to us is basic and anyone can do it; We should show gratitude whenever we can. And even to people we don't hit it off, and when things are tough -this is still difficult technique for me, though. So far, self-discipline is the main story -excuse me. Today's conclusion is...
To unappreciated coast guard officers in our country who rescued the crews from the neighboring continent country at a ship fire, And to local people who rescued distressed tourists from our country at the world heritage, I'd like to take this occasion to dedicate the phrase that if you do something to help other people, even with simple and modest things, you are returned a favor not by the people you helped but by God or the universe
Even while those two countries are under difficult conflict, as a team of doctors that received Nobel praise for peace declare, no reason should be required to save people's life
