Gratefulness is a universal lesson that is taught all over the world because of how essential it is for a person to be able to live life fully and happily, appreciating the things that they have been blessed with. While most people think almost exclusively of the positive aspects that come along with gratefulness, the negative side is often overlooked. Things such as pain, guilt, and other perfectly natural and quite common things can be the burden of gratitude.

When something is difficult to understand in the real world, it can often be helpful to turn to books. When it comes to gratefulness, certain novels that explore the topic are a great way of shedding new light on what it truly means to be grateful and how that can have both positive and negative impacts. While in real life a person only has one perspective, by reading a good book, a person can have many.

While being grateful is important, there are times in a person's life when the expectation of gratefulness can have negative impacts on a person's happiness. A great novel that portrays this kind of experience is called Mansfield Park, and it was written by the widely-known author Jane Austen. In the book, the main character Fanny is expected to be very grateful for the good fortune she has come into, and she comes to resent that expectation.

It can be hard to feel grateful for something when the person's mind is filled with feelings of guilt that surrounds this gratefulness. Feeling guilty for the good things that one has been given in life is a common thing, and it happens for many different reasons. It is important to know that just because a person has been given good things is no reason to feel guilty because that doesn't actually make a person get proactive in giving back to society.

Sometimes when a person does another person a favor, it can feel like something must be done in return. There are some things in life that are gifts, and those are given free of charge with nothing expected back. Avoiding this sense of obligation can make a person more grateful.

It is hard to imagine, but sometimes people can feel resentment when someone does something nice for them. This is because society has made people believe that something must always be exchanged for goods or services. This is unfortunate because some things are truly done out of kindness.

There are some things in this world that can be changed by one person alone and some things that cannot. It is important to recognize which is which in this confusing and changing world. While it can be hard to feel grateful for some things because of things that we cannot change, it is always best to let go of that feeling.

It is important to know that no one has the right to expect illegal or immoral things of a person. These types of people should be avoided altogether. In some cases, it is best to report these people to the right authorities.
