Thankfulness

Whoever you are, you should express that you are thankful. Otherwise the Karma Cops will park outside your abode. Seriously, listen up, all of you smart alecks: Thankfulness is a necessary action, if you wish to signal that you’re virtuous. I myself find the state of being thankful quite satisfactory, and you should too. 

There are many things to be thankful about: like, for instance, your good ankle. Or the fact that you can breathe. All of these things are blessings. 

I presume that you’re not trapped in a building that’s on fire at the moment — that’s something to be thankful for. No one likes the smell of burning hair.

But the smell of cooked fish is rather pleasant. Or you might be grilling burgers, etc.

So say a prayer on Thanksgiving, thanking your stars that you’re still alive. Then go eat some more cranberries. And spare a thought for the citizens of India.
