A Thank You is a short yet the sweetest word that can set the most messed up of all things right. The origin of this word dates as far as the origin of civilization and is usage is so extensive that for most it has become a mere habit, an appendage of good behavior and manners.

A Thank You is invariably associated with love. It is surprising though that so strong a feeling such as love can be expressed within the boundaries of these two words. A Thank You is a kind of verbal reward accorded to the doer of a task. Various definitions can be applied to the concept of a thank you, one can term it as applause or a plaudit on a one to one basis, and one can even define it within the purview of giving social recognition for somebody’s effort.

Sometimes we human beings due to our own frailties participate and deliver a given task only to earn some sort of acclamation. If for some reason we fail to attain this, we get disheartened and disillusioned and wallow in the pits of failure. Only a simple thank you can rescue a being from this pit of failure. A word of thanks delivered with a smile from the recipient can successfully retrieve him from the lowliness he has subjected himself to. A thank you has been the root cause many wondrous projects undertaken by men around the globe. It is the embodiment of peace, good-spirit, generosity and humanism and it is our answer to the fundamentalism and extremism that has held the present world as its hostage. In a world that has forgotten the good old days of the three magical words one of them being “Thank You” it is only a united effort on the part of the masses to be courteous and altruist again that will restore it to its former position.
