Gratitude is the acknowledge and appreciation of the valuable voluntary services, material help and assistance received from others.Gratitude comes from the death of the heart and finds its manifestation in looks ,words,and deeds of a grateful man.The grateful man feels highly obliged for the benefit he has received and his benefactor feels delighted when he sees that his help has been recognized and appreciated.
This word many have turned into heaven if everyone could acknowledge the benefits hre received from his fellow-human beings .But alas! Instances of ingratitude have poisoned the mind of sympathetic man.So Shakespeare in one of his famous plays has very strongly condemned the act of ingratitude.He wrote:
Blow ,Blow thou winter wind,
Thou are not so unkind
as man's ingratitude.
What he meant to convey is that ingratitude is more better than the winter wind.
