308. She and he count differently

She counts God’s Blessings.
    Therefore
    She is happy.

He counts his failings.
    Therefore
    He is unhappy.

She counts devotedly God’s divine approvals.
    Therefore
    She is happy.

He counts greedily his achievements only.
    Therefore
    He is unhappy.
