Pros And Cons Of Being Grateful

There is something all of us wanted, to obtain happiness, but how? Now, my topic here is gratefulness and gratitude. Gratitude, or grateful, is the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. What is the connection between happiness and gratefulness? Well, many people would say, when you are happy, you are grateful. However, think about this again. Is it really the happy people that are grateful? We all know quite a number of people. For example greedy, avarice, and rich who have everything that it would take to be happy, and they are not happy, because they want something else or they want more of the same. On the other hand, people who suffered from great misfortunes, misfortunes that we will never want in our life, are deeply happy. Why?

Certainly not. We cannot be grateful for violence, war, oppression, or exploitation. On the personal level, we cannot be grateful for the loss of a friend, for unfaithfulness, for bereavement. But I didn't say we can be grateful for everything. I meant that we can be grateful in every given moment for the opportunity. We can be grateful for having shelter, education, and food. We can also be grateful for being alive. There are so many more opportunities to be grateful we just don't notice. Gratitude can change our world in immensely important ways. If you're grateful, you're not fearful, and if you're not fearful, you're not violent. If you're grateful, you act out of a sense of enough or satisfy and not of a sense of scarcity. If you are grateful, you are enjoying the differences between people, and you are respectful to everybody, and that changes this power pyramid under which we live.(Steindl-Rast, TED.). If we're all grateful, the world will be a living heaven. All world where everyone is happy full with gratitude. There will be no violence, no war, and no depression. A world that's peaceful and full of happiness to show for our next
