Not a comparison of people. Please stay on topic. You said gratitude was useless because it was in the past and you don't live in the past. I pointed out that gratitude is only possible when things happen, which places them in the past as soon as they do. Then, I gave another example of the attitude you posited, pointing out how absurd it is. You come back with "don't compare two people" as if that addresses what we were talking about.
