Gratitude and compassion go hand in hand from "summary" of The Art of Happiness by Dalai Lama XIV Bstan-ʼdzin-rgya-mtsho,Howard C. Cutler
Gratitude and compassion are interconnected virtues that are deeply rooted in the human experience. When we cultivate a sense of gratitude, we are able to recognize and appreciate the kindness and generosity of others. This recognition naturally leads to feelings of compassion, as we empathize with the suffering and struggles of those around us. In practicing gratitude, we shift our focus from what we lack to what we have been given. This shift in perspective allows us to acknowledge the interconnectedness of all beings and the countless ways in which we are supported and uplifted by others. It fosters a sense of humility and interconnectedness that is essential for developing compassion. Compassion, in turn, involves not only recognizing the suffering of others but also actively seeking to alleviate it. When we approach the world with a compassionate heart, we are more likely to extend kindness and understanding to those in need. This reciprocal relationship between gratitude and compassion creates a positive feedback loop, as acts of compassion often inspire feelings of gratitude and vice versa. By cultivating gratitude and compassion in our daily lives, we not only nurture our own well-being but also contribute to the well-being of those around us. This interconnectedness is at the core of the human experience, and by recognizing and embracing it, we can cultivate a deeper sense of happiness and fulfillment. Through gratitude and compassion, we can transcend our individualistic tendencies and build a more compassionate and caring world for all beings.
