Thanksgiving and all that shiz...
What are you thankful for?
Thanksgiving weekend is upon us and yes, that means the long weekend. The last long weekend before Christmas and New Year--which signifies the end and the beginning of the year, consequently.
We have so many things that we ought to be thankful for and yet we think that this universe owe us something so big that we don't seem to be happy enough and content with what we have. It's like it's never enough and will never be enough. People nowadays are impatient and aggressive. They want everything within an arm's reach! They want everything "NOW". They cannot wait. They've taken "TIME IS GOLD" to heart without even stopping to appreciate the value of time by pausing for while and "breathing-in" the scenery, so to speak. They've become so engorged with technology and information that they have forgotten to value what is the essence of life--to enjoy ife without technology. Enjoy nature's gift and the comfort and love of family and friends.
Or maybe, I'm pertaining to the majority of the people of First-world, and the teenagers of today's world--who all forget how lucky they are by having the so-called, "first-world problems".
Maybe it's just me... It irks me to think that there are so many things in the world to be thankful for and yet, people nowadays seem to find more problems in things that aren't even supposed to be problematic in the first place. People look for things they can escape from, looking for others for answers, if not looking for people to blame for their misfortunes and not taking responsibility for it and just trying to get out of it... To make themselves feel better, I suppose. Well, that would mean that they put themselves first, they think of themselves first, which would make them, at least in my opinion, selfish.
Yes, I believe that's the right word to describe today's world. They are selfish--self-patronizing, self-righteous, self-praising hypocrites that are just looking for escapes from the realities of today's realities. And that, for me, is sad.
I do admit--that yes, I do have my moments wherein I get all antsy and selfish and I just think for my own well-being. I feel horrible when I get to realize the moment that I have become the selfish human being that I loathe.
As much as I can, I try to appreciate all the things I have in my life right now.
Despite, all the little and big fights that me and my boyfriend have, I am thankful that I have someone in my life who loves me. I am thankful for the love I get from my parents and my 2 brothers. I am thankful to have a job that helps me sustain my way of life--not how or where I want to be in life, but at least I can afford to buy things I like. I am thankful for the things I have that I always seem to take for granted.
Bottomline, that's what.
Happy thanksgiving.
