What a beautiful article!! What really opened my understanding of how significant being grateful is, was the book "The Divine Comedy" by Dante Alighieri. He writes about his visit to the 9 circles of Hell.; where the punishments for the sins/sinners correspond to each one circle, the 9th circle being the worst of all. By the time you get to the 7th circle, one cannot imagine what could be in the 9th circle. Big surprise!! The last circle of Hell is reserved for the ungrateful; ingratitude is the worst sin of all! So... once again, thank you Chris and Gina for being in my life.

I’m grateful that you opened the door for me to read “Uncommon Wisdom, to know I’m not the only one who took an interest in Steppenwolf and also to gain more insight into the nature of mental health in that the book proposes that the patient is at fault to some degree which brings a responsibility to investigate ways of healing. So I appreciated the book in showing me the truth and confirming ideas I already had in my mind, better that the truth is accepted than to live in ignorance.

What does it mean to recognise in yourself a noble slice of sanity?
