Seeing gratitude and acceptance as warmer than detachment is not something I'd thought about before and you are right, they do have a less harsh feel about them.
Without wishing to be all guru sounding, be at one with your life and it will treat you well, even though sometimes it will not feel that way, the highs will far exceed the lows at some point, you may have to look for highs a bit harder sometimes.
Ancaire, you've had you low and are beginning to stop pushing against things that bother you, now seek out your high it will appear if you look hard enough.
- Nobody has ever learnt anything important from happiness and success; problems make us grow - Consult your plan, not your feelings - If you haven't set goals, how can you expect to achieve anything?
