It’s true to a great extent. How many people do you come across who are grateful for their relationships, their valuables, their chances, their health and life in general ? A very few, right ?
I’m not saying everybody is like that but it’s a harsh reality that majority of us are like this. When something is gone, we wish to have it, grab it, own it. We then realise how important it was to have that person/thing/chance. And after all this too, we never tend to appreciate or feel grateful because we are so consumed with remorse of what’s gone by.
We do not realise something as basic as feeling grateful for everything/everybody we have, for this life itself!
- People value dead/gone people more.
- People value broken relationships more.
- People value broken things(materialistic) more.
- People value health when they are ill.
- People value gone opportunities more.

Gratitude is not a passive response to something we have been given, gratitude arises from paying attention, from being awake in the presence of everything that lives within and without us - David Whyte
