Summary

This quote suggests that appreciation encompasses three elements: understanding, quiet amazement, and gratitude. When we appreciate something, we go beyond simply recognizing its value or beauty. We strive to understand it deeply, allowing us to truly experience and incorporate it into our lives. This requires a sense of amazement, a genuine awe for what we are appreciating. Lastly, appreciation involves expressing gratitude, acknowledging the positive impact it has on ourselves or others. Through appreciation, we not only passively observe or admire, but actively engage with and embrace the value of what we perceive.
