An Attitude of Gratitude
We can lift ourselves, and others as well, when we … cultivate within our hearts an attitude of gratitude.
Through divine intervention, those who were lepers were spared from a cruel, lingering death and given a new lease on life. The expressed gratitude by one merited the Master's blessing, the ingratitude shown by the nine, His disappointment.
Like the leprosy of yesteryear are the plagues of today. They linger; they debilitate; they destroy. They are to be found everywhere. Their pervasiveness knows no boundaries. We know them as selfishness, greed, indulgence, cruelty, and crime, to identify but a few. Surfeited with their poison, we tend to criticize, to complain, to blame, and, slowly but surely, to abandon the positives and adopt the negatives of life
A popular refrain from the 1940s captured the thought:
Accentuate the positiveEliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-between
Good advice then. Good advice now
