Text: Flipping through the books in his spare time
Everything that happens in our lives is blessed by others. But it's not about being indebted to someone, and everything we have should be attributed to everyone. Life can change in an instant, so everyone who puts your life on track and moves forward steadily deserves gratitude, no matter how humble the role they play.
—Will Schwarber, The Last Reading Club of Life
To have life is a blessing, and no matter what purpose we have come into this world, life itself can be regarded as a kind of giving.
When we talk about a person's gratitude, the sense of gain in life is the logical basis for all gratitude feelings.
By extension, every gain of life is worth being thankful for, because when a person is grateful, he can discover more of the beauty of the world.
It's a bit like a virtuous circle of links, where we connect each chain with gratitude and try to see the world from a gentle perspective.
It is uncertain whether the world will reciprocate with tenderness, and this temptation raises doubts about whether the grateful heart can withstand the test of the world.
In fact, it is not realistic to be grateful for anything, and those who can do it undoubtedly have some sacred qualities, and we should not be harsh on ourselves, nor should we demand of others according to this standard.
A person's understanding of life often oscillates between giving and taking, or it should be said that the desire to possess is always there, but the heart that is grateful because of satisfaction is not always there.
The grateful heart may be related to empathy, perhaps to the indoctrination of growth, or to the perception of life...
But I don't think people are born with a grateful mentality, and from a secular point of view, dogmatic "gratitude" is more like a ritual, if we are willing to believe that this will make us better and make the world a kinder place.
When all gratitude cannot escape the functional logic of self-interest, we have to return to life itself and look at the heavens and the earth or the great creation of the Creator.
Only when a person can be confronted with some absolute faith can he feel "grateful" for what he is completely from the heart.
The answer can be life itself, because life is not like other things or relationships, life is equal, so life can tolerate all gratitude without any "utilitarianism".
