The Gratitude Imposter
Gratitude is the foundation for all virtues. Those who lack true gratitude in their nature can never be loyal to anything other than their motives. By contrast, those who are grateful by nature display immense gratitude in their daily actions. They not only understand self sacrifice, they are often selfless to their own detriment. Electing to sacrifice themselves for others. Creating a space for people to feel safe. Selfish people are easy to spot when they are amongst the former. Understand this: Selflessness is a virtue that the selfish often attempt to mimic. But like all imposters of virtue, they eventually show their true face. We all can decide to nurture gratitude within ourselves. The reality is some of us will and some of us won't make it a point to become more grateful. The nightmare individual is the person who claims they have genuine gratitude and are the antithesis of it.
