  • Does anyone else find the image at 2:40 hilarious?

  • @EliasJordan3 That's not what this video is about. Sure we should fight against injustices (such as the the top1% of America screwing everybody else), but we should also be aware of our blessings as well. Thankfully these protests demonstrated that we live in a DEMOCRATIC society and that we are free to voice our opinions especially against the unjust. By realizing what our blessings are, we can then create the foundation of doing good and sharing your blessings and opportunities with everyone

  • @jpshannons Whose? Yours or his? If people had to vote between the two based upon your and his comments...

    If you can find real gratitude than you appreciate the price of what it is you're grateful for. Knowing the possibility and the price of good things ought to make one ambitious to sustain and create them. It seems to me that a happy person is likely to be both grateful for what has been and hopeful for what could be.

  • Im not sure that gratitude leads neccesarily to happiness but definitely to contentment and that is one source of happiness.However if you are contented you cease to be ambitious.Perhaps the most productive and creative people need to be unhappy or discontent in order to achieve and social or technological progress.Is there anyway to harmonize contentment and ambition?

  • Grattitude is great, but it's not human.

    Lao Tsu said, "Do good, but don't expect grattitude." He is right. You won't get any.

    Dostoyevsky defined human being as "an ungrateful biped." He too is right.

    It's just not in human nature.

  • @bunimonibu. Your logic doesn't make sense.  If the rich kid is ungrateful, that means he's not happy with what he has, he wants more and that feeling doesn't end until he feels grateful.

  • Beyond level of education, wealth, achievement, lies a great treasure that buries deep into our existence. That's Gratitude. Most men are blinded by what they think, they see in this world until they had forgotten the most simply way to achieve the top, that's being gratitude.

    Wish you all flourish with goodness and kindness, but first, do grateful for everything!

    From Dylan to you.^^

  • @Pomiferous Like most liberals, 2rumB is a clown and beyond delusional. Someone indocrinated him along the way and he has yet to think for himself. The world is waiting for him to catch up.

  • @glali07

     I was thinking along the same lines.Wonder how many truely happy,solitary woods dwellers rumb has encountered.
