Gratitude

Gratitude
Is gratitude is important for our well-being and do you think gratitude could relate to love? If so, in what ways?

I think gratitude could easily be mistaken for love. There are so many different kinds of love aren’t there? Romantic love, a parental love and friendship love.

If the case arose when someone was dependent on a career for their everyday personal care, It wouldn’t be hard to imagine that carer would become important. Then it wouldn’t be hard to imagine a gratitude which could be viewed as love. There have been many cases when a client has been taken advantage of because they’re under the misapprehension their gratitude is love.

It’s common for patients to become so attached to their doctors and nurses, they truly believe they love them and would do anything for them, yet it is gratitude which is the overwhelming emotion not love.

Gratitude is an important emotion to experience and to express. It is a kind of love as it generates the same feel-good hormones and yet it’s different and it’s good to know the difference.
