Summary/Abstract: Feeling of gratitude is good for interhuman relations. A culture of gratitude can be justified by some interpretations of the Torah. What is more, perhaps our ability to feel gratitude is one of those characteristics that define our humanity. For it seems especially hard for computer simulation. Expressing gratitude constitutes the most fundamental form of prayer. This is for sure true in Judaism. According to Christian monk David Steindl-Rast gratitude is the he art of prayer. What is more, occasionally, for a moment, it can become a total, overwhelming experience. If so, then a dimension opens that can be understood as theological.
