I have a copy of "Sense and Sensibility" at home, but I find it quite difficult to read. Perhaps, contemporary novels are easier to understand because their language is more familiar to modern readers. People often focus on what they lack, rather than what they already have. When they are sick, they complain about their suffering. When they recover, they may quickly forget their difficulties, and fail to appreciate what they have gained. I think it is quite rare for people to say that they are healthy, happy, and satisfied with their lives. Many people naturally talk about their problems instead. Personally, I want to appreciate what I have, rather than constantly complaining about what I do not have. For example, even when the weather is unpleasant, I can still be grateful that there has been no natural disasters in my area. When I watch the news and see wars, disasters, and other tragedies around the world, I realize how fortunate I am and it helps me appreciate the peace and safety in my daily life. I also believe that gratitude should be shown beyond God, and extended to the people who help us. They may not expect money or anything in return, but we should still show our appreciation. Even a simple thank-you can acknowledge the kindness they have shown us. I want to cultivate a more grateful heart. Instead of focusing on what is missing from my life, I want to recognize the good things I already have and thank God for them. I also want to be more conscious of others' kindness and express my appreciation for them more often.
