What does it mean to use this quotation after a break up?

My friend was wondering that his ex used this but he wasn't really sure... So who can help?

Quote: gratitude turns what we have into enough...

Does it mean '' I finally accepted this break up and will move on '' or does it mean '' I learned enough from that relationship and as I promised will never date again? I don't know what exactly this can mean. Or it can mean different things depending on the person?

I think the quote is getting at the pain of striving. If we're always striving for more we're suffering because we're discontent that we don't have what we want. Thus, gratitude or acceptance of the way things are knocks us out of that striving and allows us to be appreciative of what we have. However, I also think that breakups are often hard.. and it could be easy to say one's be grateful when one's really trying to avoid feeling the sadness of the breakup.

I see it as an extension of contentment. "Just be thankful for what we've got.." (second time i have quoted massive attack today)

If you learn to be content with what you have...one is liberated from envy and desire.

I hear that she has had enough, and for this she is grateful.

What we had was just enough to teach me important lessons. Thank you. (....and don't let the door hit you in the a*s on your way out.)

I think it means that she has learned to look at what she has in her life and is grateful for it. Then recognising that she has something to be grateful for is enough to help her find fulfilment.

Or...it could be code for go and (expletive) yourself!

I think it's kind of like, "If leaving you is this hard, and you're not even right for me, imagine how nice it will be when I find someone who is right for me. Thanks for teaching me that."

Or I could be utterly wrong.

Perhaps it means: I am trying to be slightly cryptic because actually I haven't even begun to resolve how I feel about you.
