In the long second before everyone absorbs what just happened, I see the angel rolling his eyes heavenward, like a teenager in the presence of overwhelming lameness. Some people just have no sense of gratitude.

About This Quote

I am not a religious person and I don’t believe in angels, but this quote is too perfect to be anything other than what it says it is. The context in which the quote is being used is important when trying to understand its meaning. When people are facing hardship, they are often asked to be grateful for whatever good things they have. However, if you are facing hardship when something wonderful has just happened, then your reaction should be one of utter disbelief. There is no gratitude in being in the midst of a miracle.
