being resentful or is it being just oblivious or unaware I would say both are true just like we can look at it this way the opposite of love can be hate or the opposite of love can also be indifference if I hate someone that is the opposite of love but if daily I just keep neglecting that person that also hurts the other person so I was talking specifically in circumstances when bad things happen to us at that time the opposite of grateful could be resentful why is this happening but in general yes the very fact that we have the opportunity to practice bhakti the opportunity to chant the holy names to associate with devotees if we start taking this for granted and we become apathetic or indifferent or oblivious of this then that also is a sign of lack of gratitude so I would say indifference or obliviousness is the opposite of gratitude in a generic sense if we forget our blessings in the specific situation when we are faced with difficulties the opposite of grateful would be resentful this situation is coming and the predominant emotion is why is this happening why is this happening but instead we turn okay even if this is happening Krishna I am thankful for all this in my life I am thankful that you are in my life so I would say both apply in different situations Hare Krishna
