By practising gratitude, I have been a much happier person. Amazingly, I see little miracles happening in my life. I can't say much about religions but spirituality can also be fun. It's how we make things to be and with spirituality, there is really no box. There is every chance to discover and seek. I like what you said about gratitude.

And maybe this diversity is a wonderful thing... @nutuba Thanks for commenting and I totally agree with you: one can write tons about religion, spirituality, grace and gratitude without finding a fit-all definition.

You've got a lot of insight, introspection, and excellent thoughts here. Nicely done. In terms of how gratitude ties in with religion and spirituality, I agree that one can feel gratitude apart from having a religious association; I also think, though, that religion can amplify the feeling of gratitude. I won't argue that organized religion hasn't emphasized the negatives (of sin, etc.) too much -- I think humans get in the way of the real message all too often and mess things up. It's interesting though that gratitude and grace come from the same Latin root. And grace has everything to do with God. That's something to think about. Anyway, we could write a whole treatise on this, and that's not my intent here. This is a very thought-provoking article, and I'm glad I read it. Nicely done!
