History

Resentment is a lifestyle for some people. It's the choice they make when they compare their circumstances to other people who have more material comfort, or better health, or a happier family. 

In some cases the choice of resentment rather than thankfulness happens because they don't know what has come before. Perhaps they don't know the price that was paid in the past for the blessings of today.

It's important to know the history of your family, of your country, of humanity. Today's world is extraordinary compared in almost any way to the world of the past - not because people of the past were stupid or undeserving, but because it took a long time to get what we now take for granted.
