It is no secret that practicing gratitude enhances our well-being; the more we express thanks for our contentment the more content we become.

It is less well understood that discontentment is actually a blessing, too, and we can show gratitude for misfortune as well.

In ecosystems, misfortune, like decay, is a form of giving back; in a qualiadelic economy, misfortune is an opportunity to share qualia, and to be compassionate.
