It is well born, be grateful
Crisanto Gregorio León
There are so
many situations where we find ourselves with an ungrateful heart, whose
training for hostility and contempt for those who do them a favor leaves us
upset and astonished.
There
is a behavior of the cats by which they throw sand and hide their excreta. So
there are people who, to the goodness they receive from others, do not
appreciate it, but give it a handicap as if it were excreta of cats,
ingenuándlos them to ground the good deeds they receive from other human
beings.
Never
a heart trained to disagree, will value you nor appreciate with appreciation or
recognition, what your haughty pride does not allow you to appreciate. And
argue the ungrateful, if it had not been you, another would have been But it is
the case that was not another person who did you the favor, But to ignore the
favor, so respond.
With perverse logic they destroy
all argumentation that could mean to have received tangibly and evidently one
favor or many of another person. These are people who think they deserve the
favors of others, that others are bound to them, but they will never remember
in their minds and in their hearts what they received from them. And if they
gave something in return, they did it without desire, without purity of heart. Or
they never did anything useful for their benefactor and in spite of it always
they received favors.
Ungrateful
people make fun of the good heart of those who have served them, when they
required it even with urgent need, perhaps even saved them, were the precise
help at the right moment; But ungrateful hearts, become accommodatingly
forgetful. A kind of selective amnesia lets them see their satirical heart, to
trample on their benefactor.
There
are many stratagems of those who take advantage of Christian love and the good
heart of others. They may even argue that they did not receive any favor
because the person who helped them had to do it for themselves. And thus, they
leave the soul of those who, in a gesture of brotherhood and Christian love,
have helped those who believed that they would at least respect him.
It
is like the driver who carries a person in his vehicle and this one says not to
thank him, ah well that you had to go through there. Or who lines up for hours
to buy a product that he does not need, but to give it to another and this one
says, oh well but you were going to queue for yourself. Or who invites someone
to eat and the guest says, ah but what you spent was on you because in me it
was only half the price. Or another case, like someone waiting for hours to
another person to take it home safely and this can not wait a few minutes but
get angry.
It
is like someone who has watched for years for another person, for his food, his
safety, his studies and even his clothes, receiving in return abhorrence,
because what he did even without being obliged was not costly or costly enough
for the perverse heart of The ungrateful person.
Blessed are
those who give without remembering and blessed those who receive without
forgetting. Mother Teresa of Calcutta said.
But to the ungrateful heart we
must remember for all eternity its haughtiness, its envy and its lack of
humility. The grace of God draws near to the humble and departs from the proud.
James 4: 6.
