so let us begin.  number one. thank you. yes,, i really mean it .. thank you. . but do i mean it just because its good for me, because i was told gratitude was a creative force, that my selfishness and desire actually drove me to be grateful … yes… then … i am changed… because i must feel grateful, rather than learn the actual concept, i learned the feeling , the concept came easy,  . so then through feelings, i learned the concept of being grateful, and then, inception, became grateful …….true inception. . in this way, many things can, and are , and have been known, and learned. peace be with you.
