word of the day

The word for today is…

gratify (verb):

1 : to be a source of or give pleasure or satisfaction to
2 : to give in to : indulge, satisfy
3 archaic : remunerate, reward

Source : Merriam -Webster

Etymology : A gratifying experience is quietly pleasing or satisfying. But gratifying an impulse means giving in to it, which isn’t always such a good idea, and “instant gratification” of every desire will result in a life based on junk food and worse. Truly gratifying experiences and accomplishments usually are the result of time and effort.
