Gratitude - give something in exchange for everything we receive
The true tragedy of human beings is that they expect to receive what people are incapable of giving. Then, when they are given something precious, they neglect it, because they were expecting something else. Just look around: do human beings show gratitude to their Creator? No, they even blame Him for all kinds of reasons. Are children really grateful to their parents? So often these parents are made fun of and criticized. And the grievances that disciples harbour towards their Master do not bear mentioning! He may give them every conceivable method to help them work toward personal perfection, to become children of God – luminous and radiant – no, no, that is not what they want. They want success, power and glory, and they blame their Master for not granting their desires. Dear Lord, what can be done with such people? It is not surprising they are forever unhappy. Let them learn to give a little in return for everything they have received from God, from their parents, from their Master – if they have one. Let them at least find some feeling of gratitude, and they will then find peace and joy.*
