Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Everyone debates its origins, and some people condemn, and refuse to celebrate it because of that. I really think it's the most beautiful holiday though. Being humble and thankful for what we have is celebration worth having. A time to be grateful for the roof over our head, food on our plate, and loved ones to share it with. In a time where it seems everyone is constantly looking to prove they had it "harder" then their peers, we need to be reminded that even though most impoverished, traumatized, or oppressed among us in the western world are still some of the most provilidged people to ever walk the planet. The fact that "micro aggressions" and "free" healthcare are some of our biggest issues proves how privilidged we are. It shows our biggest concern isn't starving to death, or being taken by the elements any more. Even with all the comforts of modern society somehow we are more depressed and suicidal than ever in history. We have a higher suicide rate than slaves did. We have a higher suicide rate then the worst parts of Africa, are we really more oppressed and picked on then starving children? Even 100 years ago a 40 hour work week and weekends off was almost unheard of. For most of history almost everyone worked all day every day just to feed themselves, but now we feel oppressed when we can't live a comfortable lifestyle with our 40 hour work week. The average American watches 4 hours of tv a day. The fact that most people have 4 hours of leisure time a day, plus 2 days a week off and their not starving to death is quite amazing. The world needs to be humble and thankful more than ever. Most of the world has it harder than any of us. Be thankful, be humble, and realize how damn lucky we are. Thanks @sirwinchester you da man!
