To me it called for compassion, not gratefulness.

  There's survivor's guilt as well as gratitude.  The sadness of starvation and neglect doesn't fill me with gratitude either.  'There is something in the misfortune of our closest friends that does not displease us' - or makes us thankful - seems more related to what Tillich called sin as separation.

  Perspective is important, but in general I don't find gratitude in knowing others are worse off than me.

        Hi A.M.,  These are powerful images & message.  Does it come as a slideshow? (The attachments were scrubbed but openable). I want to share but concerned others may not take time to open all the attachments.  Is there a website?   Thanks so much for sharing this- it immediately made me feel grateful for all that I have in my life!

          If you think you are unhappy, look at them 

          If you think your salary is low, how about her?

          If you think you don't have many friends.....

          When you feel like giving up, think of this man

          If you think you suffer in life, do you suffer as much as he does?

          If you complain about your transport system, how about them?

          If your society is unfair to you, how about her? 

          This email needs to circulate forever...
