If we do not express our feelings of gratitude, we have no reason to be grateful. A person who is filled with gratitude finds it impossible to be ungrateful, because they have so much to be grateful for. If this person finds themselves in a situation where they are not feeling grateful, they will do what they can to rectify the situation. This is a list of things that needs to be expressed more often. People don't always mean to be rude or insensitive, but being aware of their actions and expressing the appropriate words can go a long way in improving a relationship.
