Gratitude is a dimension of mindfulness because it involves purposeful attention towards what is fortunate.  It can help people to develop a deeper empathy for others, especially those who are less fortunate or face injustices. 

By appreciating what one has and has access to, individuals can become sensitive to the needs and struggles around them.  This attitude of resourcefulness can foster a sense of connection, shared humanity, and expanded consciousness. 

Most of all, it can generate meaning and momentum towards transformative kindness.
