For the word -Gracious- means, it branches out to courtesy and politeness.
People in this world are not exactly gracious. In terms of the bloodline though generation, Humans were taught how to do all sorts of good deeds and to have a good well-taught of behavior, well-mannered, and to show respect or other social manners to the society and to all human-kind.This world of all human-kind were influence some how by their sinful self. They make sins and disregard the need to behave oneself, (to be gracious) and they consciously ignored the need to consider themselves before deciding what to do next for their actions. Usually, profound cases in which people think too highly about their self-ego and they found that being polite isn’t important and thus, the word -gracious- never instilled in them.
For what i felt about "gracious" was just simply being "giving" or "feeling(to be sensitive)". Well, that's for what I knew from my knowledge beneath my mind before i even bothered checking the dictionary up for it. Since i am under the influence of my Christianity beliefs, since small when i attended Sunday schools, the kids will always sing "God is Grace..." and such. Yes. And -gracious- do comes with the word "Grace". Take God for an example, since he's perfect and righteous, he deserved the term -gracious-
We can’t compare our gracious deeds against God’s grace. That’s definitely impossible. Since he’s grace empowers and overcomes all our subsiding grace.
What I had said above, I’ll elaborate more. Just a simple deed, like walking the blind man or feeding the cats would be considered simply gracious. It’s purely means you were gracious to what you have now and you are grateful of the things that made your everyday alive. This is what I sincerely felt.
People these days were so busy, when they've exhaust all their energy on their daily work, they could never spare an empathetic thought for their surroundings. On seeing people who need help, they would just ignore the "invisible" scene before them and walk away with their rigid face. Pretending those victims never existed.
We humans make mistakes and ignored the need to be gracious. So the society and generations lingers on and on. Some day. The future generations (our kids) would never understand what's being gracious. The fault will all be pointed at us. So, being gracious is also something that is significant and must be kept in everyone's realm.
