Does having gratitude and saying "Thank you" make it more possible to receive more gifts?

What is thinking? 

Do you believe in the abilities of your generation to affect change?



Why do we think?  
Is thinking a pleasurable activity?
Why does writing make thinking more manageable?
Why do we keep thinking, even if we feel we have had enough?  (We don't do that with other natural activities, why can't we turn off our thinking?)
Is it thinking that can get annoying when it goes on so long or is it that it won't obey our orders?  
What rewards encourage us to think?

Even when there are no rewards, what encourages us to keep thinking?

Can we know what thinking is?
Can we think about thinking?
Does the way we think about thinking influence the conclusions we have about what thinking is?
Why do thoughts lead to more thoughts?
Is there an energy connection between thinking and thanking?

Martin Heidegger, famous for his thinking ,suggested that there are different kinds of thinking but that all thinking is a form of thanking.

When we use the gift of thinking we are showing gratitude and reverence for the gift of thinking.  Being able to thank is also a gift, and it encourages us to receive more gifts and thoughts.

Heidegger, using reason, showed us that the cycle of thinking and thanking makes us more whole and gives us more life energy to ask more questions, think more thoughts, and feel more courage to think.  Thinking is thanking, but also, to thank is to think.

 Each time we use it, we are being thankful for it.

Think of someone you would like to thank and your thinking will always improve each time you give thanks.
