10th Apple Effect. - Diminishing Marginal Utility

If you are grateful for what you have in life, you will have more things to be grateful for.

In life as in Economics, the law of diminishing marginal utility apply. For a person who is hungry and starving for days, a gift of 10 apples would be a jackpot. The first would be bliss and rejuvenation. The second yummy, third juicy, fourth excellent, fifth nice, sixth good, seventh okay...by the time he would take the tenth, he might not even feel like having it. The 10th apple did not lack taste, it did not lack the potential to satisfy his hunger but the only thing lacking was his gratitude for finding food in the middle of the jungle.

So is life and everything here. We appreciate less, once it's on a downward curve. It is actually the law of diminishing gratitude, in simple words, taking things for granted. The hunter represents us. And the apple represents the gifts that life gives us. As we continue receiving the gifts of life, our hunger, our greed keeps on increasing and the joy we get from these gifts diminishes.

Never let the ‘10th apple effect’ make you take these gifts of life for granted. Never let your gratitude for life fade away. Happy life!
