Is saying 'thank you' enough to show gratitude, or does it need something more?
I guess it depends on whether you really mean it or just say it out of habit.
Exactly! True relationships stem from genuine intention and understanding, not just social manners. Can anyone give me an example?
Maybe if someone always says thanks but never helps when I need it, it feels more like a formality.

Chapter Content
Many times, people confuse social manners with actual relationships. For example, saying “Thank you” out of habit does not always indicate genuine gratitude. True relationship stems from intention and understanding, not just behavior.
Detailed Explanation
This chunk addresses a common misconception that social behaviors equate to genuine relationships. While polite behaviors like saying 'Thank you' are important, they do not guarantee true affection or respect. Real relationships are built on deeper connections, intentions, and mutual understanding, rather than merely performing social niceties.
Examples & Analogies
Consider the difference between greeting just anyone in a hall casually and warming up to a best friend after a long time apart. Saying 'Hi' to everyone is a formality, but a heartfelt 'I'm so glad to see you!' conveys genuine connection and emotion, highlighting the depth of true relationships.
