There are times in life when things go so bad that you, or someone you know, just wants to hide under a rock and not be seen by another living creature for the next century or so. Times like when a friend feels so down that even soothing words have stopped having any meaning at all, when days go by in a dreary gray of routine and living has just become a mindless process of shuffling one foot ahead of the other one to move (if you can manage standing up in the first place). As much as possible, we don’t want anyone we love or care for to undergo this kind of pain and suffering in their lives, but it can be said that these things are inevitable aspects of existence. 
Saying an honest “Thank You†seems to be a dying art. Not to say that people today are less grateful than they used to be, but sometimes they don’t even think of being grateful since the rules have changed. For example, passing fare while riding a jeepney here in the Philippines used to merit a heartfelt “Salamat Po!†from a tired commuter. Now, though, since the act has become such a common practice, people don’t bother to say their thanks anymore. It’s considered a duty that you pass the fare and the change to fellow commuters. Why should anyone say thank you?
