Gratitude
Gratitude
I have the impression that people's feelings have become shallow, clear: we are more and more aware of many things, we know more and more about ourselves and the reality that surrounds us. It is fashionable and necessary and without doubt continuous improvement. We know more and more, we live in a hurry, we fail and succeed ...
Wonderful when success pleases and failure teaches.
Sometimes I have the impression that we have unfortunately become more selfish, we know more than we feel the words spoken: please, I'm sorry or thank you are just words because it falls out like that. I omit people who are foreign to these phrases, because unfortunately it happens anyway. But do we actually feel? Or maybe we also have no time for feelings? Much is said in the context of how it would be good for us: do not worry, do not stress, take care of yourself. And others. If someone is affected by misfortune? "Sick daughter" .... sure, there are many cheaters, but it's easier to look away ... but what if we are unlucky?
Yesterday I met a lady who adopted a dog from a shelter, expressed gratitude to the person who gave the dog. "The Lord claimed that he lost his flat" - the Lady did not express any sadness over the fate of this Lord who, perhaps, with heartache parted with his friend. The lady was grateful that he gave the dog away, that he didn't attach it somewhere. However, at some point she expressed her deficiency in the form of a lack of knowledge about the dog, his preferences regarding karma .... Well, I just remembered the topic I was supposed to raise here, namely gratitude :)
I had a situation in which I felt gratitude and hence a strong desire retaliation, making a nice gesture ... as it was hard for me I decided to ask what I could give ... my question was often not so much misunderstood as it was in surprise.
I think that sometimes ordinary thank you is not enough, sometimes my gratitude is so great that I feel a strong desire to repay.
Gratitude is also realizing and accepting the fact that success is not only our merit, that there is someone without whom some things would be more difficult or impossible. Someone could refuse, and yet showed good will, did not have to, it was not due to us and it is worth being grateful. Not only that: you are not sure if the favor will happen again.
We are grateful for something. Religions also encourage gratitude, reminding you that man is not almighty and almighty, he is not the navel of the world. You didn't earn, you didn't buy and you got life, health and this is a reason to thank. I am not a believer myself, but I give this attitude as an example of being happier and enjoying the moment.
A long time ago, I had the opportunity to observe two people for a short time: older, unfamiliar women ... both lonely, living in misery, in addition, sick and bedridden. They didn't know each other but lived quite close together - maybe two kilometers. Housing conditions almost identical. The difference was one, fundamental: a sense of gratitude to Mrs. s aggressive and demanding, dominant. Another smiling, happy and grateful that someone came to her. I remind you that both women are completely dependent and lying.
A sense of control, a strong desire to control yourself and others, selfishness, self-centeredness. Blending into one mass, meaning, trash, attempting to see joy in fine things ... one great machine fueled by the desire to profit, survive just any way. We think about ourselves so often and so little about others. This attitude is very debilitating in the long run, which leads to disorders and diseases. Letting go of control brings relief, gratitude: happiness.
Gratitude gives us a sense of happiness, it does not close but opens to other people, motivates us to act, drives us but does not burn. Well, but if we have good thinking does not appear: this is the norm, then I deserve?
I remember a certain meeting of bloggers: I mean by spending time together people who share common activities, interests ... It's very sad when someone can not appear at such a meeting which I think is a great opportunity to meet in person, ask questions, hear something ... I am always accompanied by great emotions, great joy and gratitude. Sure, everyone experiences their own way: there are those who appear for gifts, their business. However, I can not understand: the attitudes of people who report, and unfortunately do not reach the place, it is not known for what reasons, well it happens. I was stunned by the claims of such people against the organizers ... I am a monument and I do not understand: if I promised something and I failed, it is appropriate to say sorry. From repentance, in this situation, there is a whole gulf. The last thing that would come to mind is asking for ... gifts, what times when the most important thing is for which you can pay, play without a problem: if not stationary, it is via the Internet. Priceless is time, attention, the presence of another person, m
