With zero-based gratitude,
we would be grateful for everything we had each day -

the health, that I am blessed with today,
regardless of what I had yesterday.
With zero-based gratitude,
I can be grateful each day for the gift of life itself.

but our hate is turning our own days
and nights into a hellish turmoil.
