A Universal Language

From a cultural standpoint, there are many things that are considered universally binding among people from varying backgrounds and geographic locations. Music and laughter, for instance, are two things that almost every culture experiences uniquely within their own customs and traditions, but universally as well, due to the fact that all people can appreciate the power of music and can recognize when other people are happy even if there happens to be a language barrier.

The same can be said of gratitude.

Music, joy and laughter are felt, which is why they serve to bond many people who would ordinarily be unable to relate due to their cultural differences. With being grateful, there needn't be a vocalized expression for two people to share in an exchange of gratitude. It can be felt through a hand shake, an embrace, eye contact and can even be emitted through our auras, permeating the atmosphere around us with sentiments of appreciation and thanks.

You know when someone is grateful and appreciative. There is no need for an interpreter. You just know.
