“Ingratitude is the frost that nips the flower even as it opens, that shrivels the generous apple on the branch, that freezes the fountain in mid-flow and numbs the hand, even in the very act of giving. It is a sin of silence, absence and omission, as winter's sin is a lack of light; a sin against charity, which otherwise warms the heart and, in the truest sense, makes the world turn.” WorldGivingHeartHandsLightTurnsSinSilenceFlowerFlowCharityWinterAbsenceGenerousApplesBranchesFountainFreezeTruestFrostIngratitudeOmission Author:Ann Wroe
