Sympathy is always bartered against gratefulness.

Humans are interdependent to each other.They are unable to live a life on their own.Times come when one is in need of other people's help,be it moral or otherwise.Fact of the matter is that sympathy is a softer human gesture that has the capability of soothing a berieved person's sentiments in order to lessen the grief and realise him of the presence of sympathiser.

It is as natural of humans to be grateful to ones showing sympathy as is showing sympathy.

The question that needs to focused is how one is supposed to react or behave if he is not reciprocated with the Thanking gesture from the one he sympathises?

We notice such behaviour in our daily life from people we show sympathy to.Don't we get a little annoyed at other's unthankfulness to our sympathy?

If it happens to us,we surely are in the category of ones who believe in the principleof bartering sympathy against gratefulness.If our situation is otherwise,we stand on a high moral padestal.
