The reason why many people are not grateful is that they fall under the spell of greed, anger and ignorance. When we are greedy, we turn requesting and receiving into a habit ─ without any appreciation. Anger makes us mindful only of how others harm us, but forgetful of the favors we receive. Ignorance makes us care only about ourselves, but never think about the reasons for the continuation of our lives.
我们要学会感恩,感恩父母,感恩师友,感恩社会,我们因他们的付出得以生存和发展。感恩别人是我们内心的真实需求,是让自己身心安宁的需求。
We should learn to be grateful for the help we’ve received ─ from our parents, teachers, friends, and society. Without their help, we cannot survive or thrive. Being grateful to others is our true desire: a desire that leads to a peaceful body and mind.
