Please and thank you

The essence of love.

Fear of not being able to say thank you is what directs you away from the proper please.

Say please and know there will be a thank you.

 

Okay... your point?

 

random thought

that is what this forum is for, right, not spam...?

 

she's cranky...dont' worry about her

 

would feel better if i rubbed her elbows.

 

Saying "thank you" does go a long way.

 

it is the way.

It is mutual gratification... love.

 

Haha...

 

i have no problem saying thank you, but sometimes its hard to say "your welcome" because for some reason it makes me feel arrogant in most situations.

i'm one of those weird people who has a hard time taking praise. i get embarrassed and start blushing profusely.

 

My point exactly.

Please, thank you... thats it. To continue is to go beyond mutual gratification and into the realm of arrogance, you are exactly correct. "your welcome" destroys the sanctity of the thank you... its like saying "you better say thank you". It is a way to put yourself above another... you are giving, not mutually gratifying.

Make it a point to stay in touch with such "feelings"... things that dont quite "feel" right, aren't.

 

i think some people expect a "your welcome" though, to acknowledge their "thank you."

but i agree, it is a bit unecessary.

 

I say please, thank you and you welcome too or something like that, I usually say it's nothing, or dont worry about it, because I dont feel like people should thank me.

 

I babysit. I say all kinds of kind words all of the time.

 

I know exactly what you mean. I do the same when Im babysitting for my cousins.

 

There is no room for being humble!

If you are on either end, you must always expect mutual gratification. Give give give does not benefit either of you... mutually helping eachother is for the good of all... it maintains a certain balance - a natural balance.

The concept goes well beyond the words.

 

Its learned... you go back and forth until someone stops, the person with the last word "wins". It sounds silly in this context, but its exactly how things work... and its the basis for the very way people think.

As with anything, it can change if you decide to work towards that change

 

i always say please and thank you.

 

I agree, but there's always room for being humble. It's nice to hear thank you but I always feel like people dont have to thank me, because really it was nothing. I did it because I wanted to help and I could or whatever the situation was and I usually just feel good to help someone in any way I can, still is nice when people appreciate it

 

You do unto others as you would like done unto you, that does go both ways. Its not as much the words, but the concept. Not hearing thank you from a deaf mute shouldn't rock the boat...

Love is all about "returning the favor"

 

I dont think love is about returning the favor, but I dont feel like talking about love right now.
I do believe that you do unto others as you would like done unto you, but you can only do your part, what happens after that is out of your hands. I mean, you treat people like you would like them to treat you, but it doesnt always go like that, you dont always receive the same treatment in return, but you gotta continue with what you are doing, because it fails the point to be focus on what you are going to receive from it.
