Summary

This quote suggests that our perception of suffering from ingratitude is actually a result of our self-centeredness or self-love. It implies that we often focus on the actions or lack of appreciation from others, feeling a sense of entitlement. However, the true cause of our suffering is not the ingratitude of others but rather our own excessive focus on ourselves. It highlights the need to shift our perspective and break free from self-centered thinking in order to find contentment and inner peace.

Socrates, Plato
