I'm very fond of gratitude. It has nothing to do with self esteem, because you can be grateful and have no self respect; they may be opposed in that sense. But William Blake said 'gratitude is heaven itself' and as I'm fond of deferring when I'm not being provocative, I shall defer to him. He might have been onto something. Gratitude is an open vulnerable state. You think it's good? I think I do.
