The Unexpected Words of Gratitude

The unexpected words of gratitude come out of the mouths that receive kindness; I have noticed puzzled and despised looks from some aquaintances and friends who seemed baffled by my thankfulness and honesty for being a very grateful dude. Let them call me an imbecile or an idiot, someone who values others' generosity; they didn't provide for my needs in my strife! I won't regret anything that feels right; how could their greediness ignore my necessity, if they never thought about my demise? Is personal happiness a source of harmony, if there's no willingness to share prosperity? Give some of it away to make someone happy; what good is it to have luck and be so greedy? A treasure has to be guarded constantly from thieves who can figure it out how to steal it with slickness. Written on 8/28/2020
