How Contrast Expands Gratitude

In life, there's pecking order. Then there are systems and circumstances that make pecking order pale in comparison. When we spend time getting to know the pain of others it helps us appreciate what we have.

If you’ve any sense of boredom or feel a bit rudderless, go out and learn about others who struggle more than you. It's where many find purpose. They see that in comparison, there are others with problems they never imagined. They see problems way worse than their own. This creates compassion that can extend to a helping hand.

When's the last time you volunteered, helped make something or someone's life better? We in the USA would do well to gain more perspective. And it's up to you to make that happen.
