Swami Mukundananda
Why do I feel unhappy when I see others with more on social media, and how does gratitude help?
Gratitude against materialism
Today's materialistic environment makes us believe true happiness lies in fame, wealth, luxurious possessions and status, and when we strive for them and don't succeed, we become miserable. Instead, count your many blessings.
We can all learn to be grateful for the air we breathe, the earth we walk upon and the sunlight we receive. The problem arises from excessive materialism in our thoughts.
