« Gratitude is not to deny the tragedy of existence. It's not about telling someone who's in pain, "Look at all the beauty you've got!" It would be almost insulting, it would make him feel bad. Gratitude is rather to feed on what is good, to savor all that is given. So for once, it may be good to take a look at the past, even if I often forbid myself so as not to fall into regret and remorse. The exercise of gratitude may also pass through this rereading of the past. (p.76) »
