Thank you!
There's a singer that said I LOVE YOU are the 3 words that are said too much but not enough.
I can see where he is coming from and can relate although there are some friends who I know who don't agree and think they are just not said enough.
One thing we all agreed on was the fact that the words THANK YOU are said too much and also not enough.
We live in this world where we are OBLIGED to be overtly-friendly towards each other. Even when we are unsatisfied from a request we accept the response and say thanks. For example you walk into a store asking for a shoe size and they don't have it, you say Okay thanks bye. Are you really thankful for the outcome? NO! But u say it anyway because society has evolved to this level where we set a standard called being polite.
I don't know about you but I'd rather be honest and true to my words instead of being 'polite'.
When I want to share my thanks with somebody I will whole-heartedly look into their eyes and genuinely pass on the message. I will not move on to another task while muttering thanks under my breath as if I was embarrassed to say it.
I feel we lost the substance, the true meaning of the words Thank You.
Think twice next time you say it. Do you really mean it ? If so, say it and give it the attention it deserves!! We are humans we have feelings and we will appreciate it!!
When you Don't mean it then don't say it!!! It's like your lying to their face. Do not feel obliged and do not let the corporate or social 'standards' influence the truth!!!
For those who took the time to read this post, I am looking into your eyes and I am THANKING YOU for your time :)
