Closing The Gap - The roots of gratitude & ingratitude: I would say that the root of gratitude is the humbleness of heart; to be able to appreciate every little thing that is done to advance you in your growth and development or move you toward your goal or suffice for you a need. The root of ingratitude, it would seem to me, is an arogance that makes you think you deserved what you got. So you never quite see things as you should. So you act by what youve recieved, to advance you toward your goal, as if you only got what you deserved. So the opposite of humility is what produces ingratitude. We come into this world naked, as the Bible teaches, meaning we have nothing. But out of this world everything that we desire can come to us through Gods intervention, directly or indirectly, but it alwayd comes by the hand of another human being. When one goes through life humble enough to be grateful for everything that God gives us, when you begin to feel down, if you start counting your blessings, you begin to see youve been blessed with so much abundance that this little disappointment, or unfulfilled desire, should never alter your attitude of gratefulness...by The Hon Minister Louis Farrakhan.
