I understand what you say about not holding a grudge and I do not. I just think there is too much ungratefullness in this world and those who see it should correct it if we choose. I am raising a grandson who is 10 and when he comes up with something outrageous I try to correct him and show him the right way. Today one of our other grandsons aged 7 wanted some of his videso that he has outgrown and has not watched for a long time. I tried to teach him that we needed to give these to someone who could use them and apprecitae them. Now if it was his favorite toy of all times that would be different. If this world is going to get back to basic acceptable behavior it is our responsiblity to help the change occur. Don't we teach our children to not kill, steal, lie? Well, then let us teach them how to be grateful when given a gift. If they wish to regift it, no big deal. But being rude to the giver is a big deal.
