Gratefulness is to show appreciation for what's been done for you, even though there may be other things inadvertently done to you. For it is sometimes unavoidable to hurt feelings, to cause displeasure, and to make others angry, of course depending on the doer not making it a habit; because that becomes abusive or perhaps oppressive.
It should be overstood that our purpose as human beings is not to have a supernatural addition to our human nature, but to be as selflessly human as we possibly can.
The goal is not to be free of flaws and imperfections, but to be as upright as we humanly can, and to have that feeling of regret or remorse each time we commit a wrong, for guilt and remorse are high up amongst the standards by which faithfulness is measured.
