Always be grateful
Not to be playing devil's advocate (what a phrase!) but in seriousness, i have to ask, grateful to whom? the whole concept of generalized gratitude, as opposed to gratitude to someone specific, has long bothered me. it implies a willful force to whom/which to be grateful. as an atheist, i can't buy that. it is cool to be glad about good things, but grateful? GENERALLY grateful, not grateful TO someone? nope, that doesn't work for me.
