Thank you

When did saying thank you become an art form? Saying thank you seems like such an easy thing to do, yet so many people find it hard to do. Relationships amongst people can be greatly improved by just saying thank you. The worse thing is that we tend to do is not say thank you to the people who are the most important hold the most value in our lives. Why do we take for granted that they know that we are thankful for the things that they do? I fail to understand why letting a person know that we appreciate them is so difficult. I am willing to bet that all of us want to be appreciated by others especially our loved ones, but do we appreciate others? I try very hard to teach my children to treat others, as you want to be treated. I tell my children thank you all the time, yet they seem to think that the things I do for them, I am supposed to do. Are we naturally selfish or thankful?
