Thanking Someone

Apparently thanking someone for doing a mundane job makes them even want to do the job as per http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/why_to_thank_your_partner_for_doing_the_chores?utm_source=Greater+Good+Science+Center&utm_campaign=4c23a941d7-GG_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_04_05&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_5ae73e326e-4c23a941d7-51673647. Wonderful. 

I have a friend who religiously and routinely thanks people for mundane jobs. And she doesn't differentiate between thanking for a routine "taking the garbage out" to being there in an emotionally traumatic situation - making one wonder whether all one did was take the garbage out or just passed the cup.

On Forgiving:
