Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has expressed concern over the growing tendency of ingratitude and emphasized the value of gratitude in relationships.
When someone provides money and merely receives a curt “seen” in return, for example, Kanayo made note of how frequently people get favors or help but neglect to express gratitude.
The actor emphasized that silence about appreciation is the same as ingratitude as he pushed his fans to practice thankfulness.
Kanayo said, “Hello, my friends, I have one question. Why are people very ungrateful?”
“You do somebody a favour by sending him or her money and the person receives it and sends you a text saying ‘seen’. Seen? Come on! Do you think it’s your right? That’s an inheritance mentality; people are like this and it doesn’t show that you are grateful.
“Look, gratitude unspoken is ingratitude spoken. It’s not your right so learn to be grateful for whatever someone does for you. That way, the person will be encouraged to do more. Stop being selfish; be grateful because nobody owes you anything. Have a beautiful week ahead”, he said on Instagram.
Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
