Thanksgiving

As the clock has struck midnight here in Phoenix, Arizona it is officially Thanksgiving. I have always found this Holiday to be somewhat contradictory, because it is based on an event that occurred in a much less pleasant and peaceful manner than its modern day portrayal. But there is also a very intriguing quality about Thanksgiving, that has been lost in many areas of present day American society.

The quality that I am referring to is the unity of people. For a day, families, and friends come together to celebrate the concept of community and giving. It is nice to know that we make time for 24 hours of generosity and joy per year.

Thanksgiving gives each of us the excuse, which we seem to need, to embrace our neighbors, friends, and family alike. It is a celebration of the equality of man, and a clear reminder of the inefficiency of Individuality within American culture.

I hope everyone has a joyous celebration today because, for once, we all hold equal standing at the dinner table. We are fellow citizens of a free nation. The next step, is for us to take this day of equality and implement it into our daily lives. I salute all for their Thanksgiving contributions. I thank You for Giving!
