"Gratitude is a burden upon our imperfect nature, and we are but too willing to ease ourselves of it, or at least to lighten it as much as we can"

About this Quote

This quote by Philip Stanhope talks with the trouble of expressing gratefulness in our imperfect nature. He recommends that appreciation can be a worry, which we usually search for ways to reduce this burden. This could be taken a discourse on how difficult it can be to reveal gratefulness in a significant method, particularly when we are feeling bewildered or burdened by our own flaws. It can also be taken a tip to be mindful of our own flaws and also to be thankful for the good things in our lives, also when it is hard. Inevitably, this quote acts as a suggestion that appreciation is a vital part of life, and that we should aim to express it in significant ways, even when it is tough.
