People often talk about gratitude—but why is it so hard to feel?
Master Woo Myung shares that people cannot be truly grateful because they live inside their own minds filled with greed and negativity.
When we let go of the false, negative mind, the natural state of thankfulness is revealed.
Gratitude is not something we force—it’s what remains when we become free from the false self.

Gratitude
People do not know how to be grateful for being born into and living in this world because they live inside their own minds. Since people live according to the greed in their minds, they live continuously complaining. People’s blessings are founded in a grateful and generous mind, as people with that mind find that everything works out smoothly and so they can succeed.
When one is grateful for every single thing in his life, he will live a truly happy life. Though they try, people cannot be grateful because their minds are negative, and they do not have gratitude within. People can only have gratitude when they change their negative minds to positive, grateful minds. When one casts off his negative mind, which is a false mind, only the grateful mind remains.
