When it comes to defying the difference between guilt and gratitude they don’t even come close. It is not possible to teach someone to be thankful. One of the jobs of a parent or grand parent is to teach our children to understand and show gratitude. Children should not have to ponder serious world issues like famine, it is almost abusive to make them. A child shouldn’t be the secret of wealth taught gratefulness on the grounds that they have what others do not. If you experience true gratitude you will be filled with joyful feelings, not guilty ones. Gratitude brings a sense of blissfulness and a feeling that you have been blessed. We would find it difficult to feel blessed for havng a plate full of food with a picture of a hungry child at the back of our mind.
