You make it sound like another person's labor is the only thing that deserves gratitude.
And no, I'm not suggesting you should be grateful to god. I'm an atheist.
I'm a nihilist. I wasn't thinking of God.
IDK. I respect that gratitude works for others. I personally am not a fan because I feel we have the normal range of emotions for a good reason.
For example: Anger motivates us to leave an exploitative job or an abusive relationship. Gratitude might very well keep someone in that relationship or in a job where they end up herniating a disk...because instead of being angry enough to leave they tell themselves 'I'm so lucky! Other people have it worse!'
I never suggested you should be grateful for everything and anything that happens to you. That's really not necessary to practice gratitude on occasion. And your brain doesn't automatically turn into mush that's incapable of recognizing exploitation or injustice.
