Thanksgiving '21

In a recent conversation with a friend, I was surprised to discover that he doesn't admire thankfulness. His image of gratitude is more like servile groveling. 

Is gratitude politically incorrect now? Has it been replaced by a sense of entitlement? Maybe it has. But he probably appreciates a "thank you" when he gives a thoughtful gift. 

“When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.”

Gratitude is a virtue. It's good to cultivate it.
