Defining Gratitude
Religious traditions including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism all encourage
cultivating gratitude as an important moral virtue. For millennia, gratitude has been a popular topic
among philosophers:
• Cicero said gratitude “is not only the greatest one but also the mother of all the other remaining virtues”;
• Seneca “ranked ingrates below thieves, rapists and adulterers”;
• Hume wrote, “Of all crimes that human creatures are capable of committing, the most horrid and unnatural is ingratitude”;
• and Adam Smith believed that gratitude was vital for maintaining a society based on goodwill

It was certainly eye opening for this Uncommon Communicator to realize that my approach to gratitude was completely wrong. I was always looking for the big idea or deep thought to be grateful for.
In reality , gratitude is intended to be seen and used in every little thing. In fact, if you can find gratitude in the small things you will lead a more fulfilling and happier life.
