Gratitude Saves the World

Be someone who is grateful, knowing the world's virtues.
It gives all the goods and resources we need:
rice and salt, grass and vegetables, fish and fruit, and more.
Know how to draw upon it without ruining any of it.
Furthermore, person to person, each and all of us,
without exception have value for each other, deep and vast.
Consider well the truth that makes it possible for the world
to survive — because all kinds know the value of others.

The Nation — The Religion — The Monarchy*
together make up the enormous Soul of the Thai people.
We survive through caring for each other, hearts bound
together because gratitude fills them to the brim.

* The Pillars of national unity promoted by Thai governments.
