Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
Gratitude in international literature is associated with catharsis and reciprocity. These are the two main "goals" of people expressing gratitude.
Catharsis is the process in which a person experiences strong emotions. For example, after an anxiety or traumatic event, crying is a way of releasing tension. Similarly, gratitude works as a catharsis. We show gratitude in our efforts to release some negative emotions such as guilt, sadness, anger, etc.
Reciprocity refers to the exchange of actions. In this case, the exchange of positive emotions. When one shows gratitude to another person, then this person can be motivated to make a kind act in return. Besides, acts of gratitude are not just for the people we know! This way positivity can be transmitted beyond our own circle.
