Try Gratitude For Prevention of Domestic Violence

Think about it:

  It is probably impossible for a partner to be BOTH Violent and Grateful at the same time.

Agreed?  

  A wise Teacher drawing inspiration from the story of Joseph in the Old Testament once said: 

"While Gratitude is the Mother of 

Goodness and happiness;

InGratitude is the Mother of 

Meanness and Misery"   (Dennis Prager).

  Therefore, it stands to reason that If I am UnGrateful, my heart, mind, thoughts, attitudes and behaviors are quite possibly going to be filled with Meanness and Misery;

  Whereas, If I am Grateful, it is quite possible that my heart, mind, thoughts, attitudes and behaviors are going to be filled with Goodness and happiness.

  Hence, which person is More likely to be abusive?  

The one filled with Meanness and Misery;

 or the one filled with Goodness and happiness? 

 The one filled with Meanness and Misery. 

 Right?

  And finally  which person is More likely to be a healthier, patient, loving, responsible and non-abusive partner?  

The one filled with Meanness and Misery; 

 or the one filled with Goodness and happiness?

 The one filled with Goodness and happiness. 

 Right!

  Therefore, it seems logical to assume that a partner with a heart filled with Gratitude,  Goodness and happiness is going to be a much healthier and less abusive partner than a partner with a heart filled with Ingratitude, Meanness and Misery.

  So then I ask myself: What would it look like -- or better still, What would I be like if my Heart was filled with Gratitude, Goodness and Happiness?

  I think I will try to be More Grateful and I will see...
