It is well born, be grateful

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.
