The Financial and Social Value of Being Grateful

Most children understand the Golden Rule without much guidance. Being good isn't complicated or controversial. Sharing feels good. Friendship feels good. Being kind feels good. Expressing appreciation feels good.

So there's no good reason to write an article about the value of being grateful, unless you aren't:

Entitlement also often develops among kids who are not told no. This kind of entitlement is wreaking havoc on American society today, including and especially among the black culture, where the Marxist Black Lives Matter movement has appealed to black men and others who share the common misfortune of not having a good father in the home to discipline them.

Gratitude doesn’t come naturally for most people. The growing turmoil in our society, including riots and general disrespect for the law and order that has made America prosperous for hundreds of years, can be directly traced back to a lack of gratitude on the part of the hundreds of thousands or millions of people who feel like society owes them everything, that they can be perpetual takers while giving back little to nothing.

This is truly racist, sanctimonious rubbish.
