I'd be interested in comments on the hakarat hatov definition given by the penultimata speaker. If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a noise? bsorot tovot
Considering he spent 9 years researching the topic, his answer to the simple question posed "what should you do if you see a solider" is painful. It only gets worse when he defends not saying thank you to a solider and starts the "we" and "them". I can't work out whether its ignorance or plain stupidity. Either way, the first speaker hit the nail on the head when he quoted the vilna gaon's explanation of the comparison of water to Torah. if you're full of weeds and thorns, it appears spending 9 years researching hakarat hatov, simply doesn't help.
I finally settled on what did it: Hakarat hatov should be a completely natural thing. Indeed, it is said that Judaism has hakarat hatov (to God, for making us) as its very basis.
When something is so natural, it means that when one spends nine years researching a topic, he's looking for reasons *not* to do it.
