Here's a gratitude game I play with myself.
I pick a modern object and ruminate over how much history went into making it possible. Take this rig: the metal components come from tens of thousands of years of metal-craft. The paints and rubbers come from synthetic versions of natural dyes and fibres that cost hundreds of thousands of lives to industrialize. Then there's the engineering, and the distribution challenges...
We live on the shoulders of so many.
And we take *such* gifts for granted.

yes, we take so much for granted, such a short-sighted species.
i think the anthropocene era will be a short one in comparison.
the Kali Yuga is supposed to be a short one. perhaps the ancients remembered.
