“An ungrateful man is like a hog under a tree eating acorns but never looking up to see where they come from”
— Ambrose Bierce

Simplified Meaning:
Imagine a person always taking food and help from others without ever saying thank you or appreciating where it came from. Just like a pig munching on nuts that fell from a tree, this person enjoys the benefits but never gives credit to those who make it possible. In daily life, this could be someone receiving support from friends or family and acting as if they deserve it, without acknowledging the effort or love behind it. Being grateful involves recognizing those who help us and showing appreciation. If we don’t, we might lose their support over time, as people like to feel valued. So, remember to take a moment to thank and appreciate the people who support you.
