The common meaning of gratitude is to be thankful for benefits received. While this is important, I feel that the energy of gratitude is one of the most powerful attracting forces in the universe.

Yet Kim also bears witness to that part of the human soul that no oppressor can ever claim. View quote
Carlos Eire
