We Lack Gratitude
Those who are born rich and famous fantasize about how cool it would be to live an anonymous life. Commoners wish to be royalty while some royalty is ready to give up their titles to become commoners.
The elder wishes that they could be the youngest in the family and vice versa. Some people would do anything to get Western citizenship while others choose to give away such privileges to live a life to which they feel more attuned.
Some work hard to get doctorates while only desirous of work suitable for people with bachelors. Graduates of seminaries lament that they could not get admitted to professional universities while engineers exert the utmost effort to try to formally learn spirituality after graduation.
We should learn to be satisfied with our fates while striving to improve the condition of the environment that God has placed us in. By learning to live naturally, we can equip ourselves to do so and feel genuinely happy in our situation.
