Gratitude & life satisfaction
Less grateful people -
- don't get life satisfaction because they can't focus on what life is offering.
- They focus more on resentment...what they are losing out on (scarcity mindset), and life feels like a burden to them.
Grateful people do get the feeling of injustice, of being deprived...but on the whole they focus more on the good.
It's easier to find less grateful people than ungrateful people because reciprocity... reciprocating with a good deed for something good received... is the general norm, & being called 'ungrateful' is felt as an insult.
