We've heard tons of saying like that we need to thank for everything. It's like we tend to believe that if we appreciate, some like the universe would help us to fulfill our wish. In some sense, it is like we are saying our wish to a fortune-teller. If we do not feel a real blessing, I think saying thank is a lie. Because we are saying a lie all the time, it's like everything is going wrong.
However, I feel like it's like something a necessary condition, not a sufficient condition to get our wish. I mean that although we are showing our gratitude for everything, it does not necessarily mean that our wish will come true. Rather, since we know that the world itself is perfect and in some sense complete, or at least around me, I necessarily appreciate everything around me.
It's totally the opposite. My point is that one first step is to know why the world is. If we know the reason itself it means that the world is working as it is. I know there is a logical leap. Nevertheless, so that we are nothing but appreciative.
