Gratitude is a virtue forgotten by many people, this neglect increases as society forces us to be more selfish, to take everything for granted and not value what we have, the more selfish we become, the less we are able to perceive the outside . We are less able to perceive the simplicity and beauty that reign in the world.
When you only look inward, you lose the perspective of life as a whole, we have lost the nuances of our existence. We often forget our condition. Do we get lost in this routine dance, “concrete measures to be adults”, to live to work?And we forget that we exist in this world.
- The next-generation autopilot.
- Honed with practice.
- Controls our lives and directs our steps.
- We go blind to outer beauty.
- We decided it wasn’t worth it a long time ago.
- Without realizing that we had decided.
- ? We don’t have the time to get to this place.
- I have to.
- I only have the resources to enter this labyrinth that society has built for me.
We forget the nature and lessons it brings us, we exist to take established and perfectly organized measures, there are people who enter this spiral and do not realize, it is as if they have disabled the button that connects them with life. (in all its width and background).
To this lack of gratitude for the small gifts offered by life is often associated with deep sadness, which has to do with a vision that has been reversed from the outside inwards, a gaze that contemplates only itself. be very extreme, because we can’t help but save ourselves from the outside.
Do something, assuming that the people on our side will stay on our side regardless of our behavior?Suppose what our parents do for us is because they are our parents and not to value them?Putting ourselves in this perspective reinforces this tunnel vision.
When we realize that we have entered this spiral of ingratitude (so easy to enter and so assumed in today’s society), we can get an idea of its destructive power, it is like a hurricane destroying everything it finds, ingratitude makes us selfish and insensitive to the goodness of others.
Our senses atrophy when we take for granted what we have in our lives without appreciating or thanking it, as we do not look so much at what we have and what we lack, we will always miss something while we look inside and out. We are simply focusing on what life gives us in accordance with our laws of justice. Thus, by feeding on these thoughts, we increase the sense of dissatisfaction we feel in our lives.
Sadness becomes lighter and disappears even when we do some exercise, it’s about giving thanks for what we have and especially for what we think we’re rightly enjoying, thanking the good gestures of the people around us, and focusing on the messages nature sends us might be two examples.
Do not let another day pass without taking off and discover the forest that you can enjoy, which passes through the small desert where no fruit has grown, we are not talking about great things, not even something material, we talk about the simplicity that feeds us. silently every day. He steals a smile, interesting or silly, but smile.
From the heat that enters directly into our hearts when our dog is glad to see us, to the surprise and excitement of seeing how the little seed we plant in a pot grows, gratitude saves our lives. It stimulates our senses and makes us great companions of life; companions who show us the beauty and goodness of the world around us; if you embrace life as it is, you embrace gratitude, and gratitude calms and soothes even the most tormented soul.
