Gratitude or being grateful is a very important aspect in our life.

But showcasing it in SM or in a group, where you know others could be suffering, loss or lack of that resource is kind of cruel I thought.

This thought is bothering me

Can we be grateful in silence?

Real-Life Example in my class:
Student 1: I lost my job and I am ok with it and I will get through it. I am grateful to be here

Student 2: I have to share I am grateful that I got a promotion - feeling happy

I see a shadow of pain on the other's face (I take care of it later)

Student 3- I am grateful my brother recovered from of COVID ( we all murmur a group of relief)

Student 4 - (in tears) I have lost a colleague, and colleague's parents - I am so scared - ...and so on..(the fear escalates)

Student 5 - my relative is struggling in the hospital

My point of thought: how do we motivate people around us without underlining this gratefulness aloud, which could serve as a demotivating factor for the ones going through a bad time

gratitude and service need to be expressed silently
