Gratitude... True or False

[Bitter Creek]

Are the following T or F?

• The fool’s life is empty of gratitude and full of fears; its course lies wholly toward the future – Letter 15, On Brawn and Brains
• “…gratitude is the most important factor contributing to a pleasant life” – Plutarch
• Gratitude and anxiety cannot exist in the same heart. If you keep gratitude in your heart, it will drive out the anxiety. But, if you let anxiety live in your heart, it will drive out gratitude (paraphrased). – Max Lucado

Holy ****. Do the likes I get from you represent an acknowledgment of sanity or an ironic “this guy is fvcked in my expert opinion?”
