"La gratitud mira al pasado y el amor al presente"
— C. S. Lewis

Simplified Meaning:
When we feel thankful, we often think back to things that have already happened. For example, we might remember a friend who helped us when we were in trouble or a kind gesture someone did for us. It’s about recognizing and appreciating good things that we have experienced before. On the other hand, love is focused on what is happening right now. When we care about someone or something, we show it through our actions and words in the present moment. For instance, spending time with loved ones or helping them out when they need it shows love and care today. By focusing on gratitude, we cherish our memories and past experiences. By focusing on love, we make our present moments meaningful and fulfilling.
