A motivation that speaks volumes
Of course, the reasons for this gesture vary from person to person. For some, it’s a natural habit; for others, a way to show gratitude or create a connection. Sometimes, we also act out of politeness, or to feel good. What psychologists emphasize is that regardless of the motivation, as long as the gesture is sincere, it provides a feeling of inner satisfaction. And that’s where the real benefit lies: in this little bubble of well-being that we create for ourselves… and for others.
A form of gratitude that comes from afar
Those who have themselves experienced demanding situations – in catering, healthcare, or home care – are often the first to offer help. Because they know. Because they remember. For them, this gesture is a way to express gratitude, sometimes silent, towards those who give so much of themselves. Like a cycle of solidarity coming full circle.
